                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 24, 2000

  Mr. EVERETT. Mr. Speaker, on October 19, due to sickness in my family 
and thus the need to return home to my district, I was unable to vote 
during rollcall vote No. 540. Had I been present, I would have voted 
``yes'' on H.R. 4541, the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000.
