  Mr. BATEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I was regrettably absent on Monday, June 7, 
1999, and consequently missed three recorded votes. The latter two were 
conducted under suspension of the rules. Had I been present, I would 
have voted as follows:
  Journal Vote, vote No. 167, ``yea''; H.R. 435, vote No. 168, ``yea''; 
H.R. 1915, vote No. 169, ``yea.''
