  Mr. McINTYRE. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, November 16, 1999, I was with 
my father, who had open-heart surgery in the hospital, and therefore 
was unavoidably absent for rollcall votes 587 through 595. Had I been 
present I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall vote 587, ``yes'' on 
rollcall vote 588, ``yes'' on rollcall vote 589, ``no'' on rollcall 
vote 590, ``yes'' on rollcall vote 591, ``yes'' on rollcall vote 592, 
``yes'' on rollcall vote 593, ``yes'' on rollcall vote 594, and ``no'' 
on rollcall vote 595.
