  Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, due to notifications from the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency that hurricane ``Floyd'' is likely to hit 
my district within 48 hours, I will not be able to be present and 
voting this evening and tomorrow. Hurricane ``Floyd'' is currently a 
category 4 storm and gaining strength as it approaches the Southeast 
coast. I will remain in my district to assist constituents and my 
family with pending evacuation and mitigation plans.
