  Ms. ROYBAL-ALLARD. Mr. Speaker, due to an unavoidable meeting on 
Thursday June 21, I was not present for rollcall vote No. 177, on 
Representative Slaughter's amendment to increase funding for the NEA 
and the NEH. I am a strong supporter of both the National Endowment for 
the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, and had I been 
present, I would have voted yea on this important amendment.
