  Mr. McDERMOTT. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to vote on yesterday's 
suspension bills. Had I been capable of voting, I would have voted in 
support of:
  H.R. 46--Honoring the life of Al Hirschfeld.
  H.R. 40--Permitting the use of the rotunda of the Capital for a 
ceremony in remembrance of victims of the Holocaust.
