  Mr. BATEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I am regrettably absent and missed 3 votes 
on July 12, 1999. The first vote was on the Journal and the rest were 
under suspension of the rules. I wish to include in the Record my 
statement as to how I would have voted had I been present.
  On rollcall vote No. 277, I would have voted ``aye.'' On rollcall 
vote No. 278, I would have voted ``aye.'' On rollcall vote No. 279, I 
would have voted ``aye.''
