  Ms. KILPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, due to official business at the White 
House, I was unable to record my vote on rollcall No. 154, raising a 
point of order against the consideration of H.R. 3709 as an unfunded 
mandate. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay''--against 
consideration of H.R. 3709.
