  Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, April 18, 2002, I 
was in Somerset, Kentucky attending the funeral services for a dear 
friend of mine, Pulaski County Sheriff Sam Catron. As such, I was not 
present for rollcall votes #99-103. The votes were on the approval of 
the journal, a motion to instruct conferees on the farm security bill, 
and consideration of H.R. 586, the Tax Relief Guarantee Act of 2002. 
Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcalls #99, 101, 
102, 103, and ``nay'' on rollcall #100.
