  Mr. BOSWELL. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained while en route 
from Iowa back to Washington yesterday afternoon. Due to an aircraft 
mechanical problem, I missed rollcall vote No. 322, the Sanford 
amendment. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no.'' I also missed 
rollcall vote No. 323, the Olver amendment. Had I been present, I would 
have voted ``yea.'' Finally, I also missed rollcall vote No. 324, the 
Hostettler amendment. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.''
