  Mr. HOEFFEL. Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, I was absent for votes on 
Thursday, February 27, 2003 as a result of the passing of my mother, 
Mrs. Eleanore Hoeffel. Had I been present, I would have cast my votes 
as follows: rollcall vote No. 37 ``nay,'' rollcall vote No. 38 ``aye,'' 
rollcall vote No. 39 ``nay.''
