                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 25, 2001

  Mr. WATTS of Oklahoma. Mr. Speaker, due to tornado warnings, my 
flight was diverted to Philadelphia, and I was unavoidably detained on 
September 24, 2001. As a result, I missed Recorded Votes #349 (H.R. 
717, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Childhood Assistance, Research and 
Education Amendments of 2001), and #350 (H.J. Res. 65, Continuing 
Appropriations for FY2002).
  I ask that the Record reflect that, had I been present, I would have 
voted ``aye'' on all of the above motions on September 24, 2001.
