                       Tuesday, February 11, 2003

  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I regret that I missed roll call 
votes 18 and 19 on February 5, 2003. I was on my way to attend the 
funeral for a family member who passed away earlier in the week. Had I 
been present, I would have voted ``no'' on the Motion to Recommit H.J. 
Res. 18 and voted ``yes'' on H. Res. 51, expressing the House of 
Representatives condolences to the families and crew of the Space 
Shuttle Columbia.
