                        Tuesday, October 1, 2002

  Mr. OTTER. Mr. Speaker, previously scheduled commitments caused me to 
miss the vote on H.J. Res. 111--making continuing appropriations for 
the fiscal year 2003. Had I been present I would have cast my vote in 
favor of this legislation. This legislation is critical to the 
continued operation of our government.
