                      Thursday, September 14, 2000

  Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Speaker, during the week of July 24th, due to 
hospitalization, I was unable to vote on Roll Call Number 429 through 
and including Roll Call number 450. If I had been present I would have 
voted AYE on all, except on Roll Call Number 449, on which I would have 
voted NAY. Accordingly, I ask unanimous consent to have my statement 
placed in the Record at the appropriate point.
