  Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. Speaker, because I attended the groundbreaking of 
the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in my hometown of 
Cincinnati, I missed the following Roll Call Votes on June 17, 2002: 
Roll Call Vote Number 230, a vote on the Journal. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``Yea.'' On Roll Call No. 231, passage of H. Con. Res. 
415, recognizing National Homeownership Month, I would have voted 
``Yea.'' On Roll Call No. 232, passage of H. Con. Res. 340, supporting 
the goals and ideals of Meningitis Awareness Month, I would have voted 
``Yea.''
