                       Tuesday, February 1, 2000

  Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably absent on a matter of 
critical importance and missed the following recorded votes:
  On H. Con. Res. 244, authorizing use of the rotunda for a Holocaust 
memorial introduced by the gentleman from California, Mr. Thomas, I 
would have voted ``yea.''
  On H.R. 2130, the Hillory J. Farias Date-Rape Prevention Act 
introduced by the gentleman from Michigan, Mr. Upton, I would have 
voted ``yea.''

                          ____________________
