  Ms. CLAYTON. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 187, the Souder amendment--
to ``prohibit any fiscal year 2000 funding for military operations in 
the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia,'' I was absent for the above-
referenced vote because I was in North Carolina attending the funeral 
services for the father of my District Office Director. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``nay.''
