                         Tuesday, July 27, 1999

  Mr. EHRLICH. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, July 26, 1999, I missed several 
votes because my wife Kendel and our new baby boy were released from 
the hospital. Specifically, I missed the following two rollcall votes: 
335 (Hoeffel amendment to H.R. 1074); and 336 (passage on H.R. 1974). 
If I had been present I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall No. 335 and 
``aye'' on rollcall No. 336.
  Likewise, I would have voted ``aye'' on Mr. McIntosh's en bloc 
amendments to H.R. 1074; S. 604; H.R. 2565; H. Res. 172; H.R. 457; S. 
1260; S. 1259; and S. 1258, all of which were agreed to by voice vote.
