                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM OSBORNE

                              of nebraska

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 7, 2001

  Mr. OSBORNE. Mr. Speaker, on February 6, 2001, I was unavoidably 
detained and missed having the opportunity to vote on H.J. Res. 7, a 
resolution recognizing the 90th birthday of Ronald Reagan. If I had 
been present, I would have voted for the resolution.
  President Reagan served his country honorably as President and was a 
great leader of the free world. He is very deserving of this 
recognition on his birthday, and I deeply regret that I was not present 
to vote in favor of the resolution honoring him.
