                      Wednesday, October 10, 2001

  Mr. LUCAS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, on September 24, 2001, my plane 
to Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C. was delayed because of inclement 
weather. As a result, I missed two votes on the House floor.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall vote 349 
to pass H.R. 717, a bill to support additional Federal research, 
coordination, information, and education on Duchenne and other forms of 
muscular dystrophy.
  In addition, I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall vote 350 to pass 
H.J. Res. 65, a bill to provide continuing appropriations at current 
levels through October 16 for all Federal departments and programs 
covered by the fiscal 2002 spending bills not yet enacted.
