                      Tuesday, September 17, 2002

  Mr. SHAYS. Mr. Speaker, on September 11, I was in the 4th 
Congressional District to honor the heroes and victims of the September 
11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
  I take my voting responsibility very seriously and would like the 
Congressional Record to reflect that, had I been present, I would have 
voted ``yea'' on recorded vote number 384.
