                         Tuesday, July 13, 1999

  Mr. SHOWS. Mr. Speaker, because inclement weather delayed my 
connecting flight from Jackson, Mississippi, on Monday, July 12, 1999, 
I was unable to cast recorded votes on rollcalls No. 277, 278, and 279.
  Had I been present, I would have voted as follows: ``Yea'' on 
rollcall 277 to approve the Journal; ``yea'' on rollcall No. 278 to 
suspend the rules and agree to H. Con. Res. 107, expressing the Sense 
of Congress concerning the sexual relationships between adults and 
children; and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 279 to suspend the rules and 
agree to H. Con. Res. 117, expressing the Sense of the Congress 
concerning United Nations General Assembly Resolution ES-10/6
