  Mrs. WILSON. Mr. Speaker, on October 10, 2000, I was unavoidably 
delayed in traveling to Washington, DC, as a result of a mechanical 
problem with an airplane. As a result, I was unable to attend three 
votes.
  Had I been present, I would have voted: ``Yea'' on rollcall vote No. 
519, the Pipeline Safety Improvement Act (S. 2438); ``yea'' on rollcall 
vote No. 520, allowing for the contribution of certain rollover 
distributions to accounts in the Thrift Savings Plan and to eliminate 
certain waiting period requirements for participating in the Thrift 
Savings Plan (H.R. 208); ``yea'' on rollcall vote No. 521, the Lupus 
Research and Care Amendments (H.R. 762).
