  Mrs. CLAYTON. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 191, H.R. 1401--final 
passage, ``to authorize appropriations for fiscal years 2000 and 2001 
for military activities of the Department of Defense, to prescribe 
military personnel strengths for fiscal years 2000 to 2001, and for 
other purposes,'' 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 
``yea.''
