  Mr. SHOWS. Mr. Speaker, because of unanticipated delays in my flight 
from Jackson, Mississippi, on Monday, September 25, 2000, I was unable 
to cast a recorded vote on Rollcall 487.
  On Rollcall 487, I would have voted ``yea'' on the Motion to Suspend 
the Rules and Agree to H. Con. Res. 399, recognizing the 25th 
anniversary of the enactment of the Education for All Handicapped 
Children Act of 1975.
