  Mrs. BONO. Mr. Speaker, I was necessarily absent for all legislative 
business during the week of January 29, 2001 through February 2, 2001, 
due to a medical condition. As a result, I missed the following votes: 
On Tuesday, January 30, 2001--question ``On Motion to Suspend the Rules 
and Pass, as Amended'' (Roll No. 5) for issue H.R. 93--Federal 
Firefighters Retirement Age Fairness Act. On Wednesday, January 31, 
2001--question ``On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Agree'' (Roll No. 
6) for issue H. Con. Res. 14--Permitting the Use of the Rotunda of the 
Capitol for a Ceremony as part of the Commemoration of the Days of 
Remembrance of Victims of the Holocaust, question ``On Motion to 
Suspend the Rules and Agree'' (Roll No. 7) for issue H. Con. Res. 15--
Expressing Sympathy for the Victims of the Devastating Earthquake that 
Struck India, and question ``On Approving the Journal'' (Roll No. 8) 
for issue Journal. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' for 
the question ``On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass, as Amended'' 
for the issue H.R. 93 (Roll No. 5), ``yea'' for the question ``On 
Motion to Suspend the Rules and Agree'' for the issue H. Con. Res. 14 
(Roll No. 6), ``yea'' for the question ``On Motion to Suspend the Rules 
and Agree'' for the issue H. Con. Res. 15 (Roll No. 7), and ``yea'' for 
the question ``On Approving the Journal'' (Roll No. 8) for the issue 
Journal.
