                      Thursday, February 27, 2003

  Mr. KENNEDY of Rhode Island. Mr. Speaker, on February 26, 2003, I was 
in my congressional district in Rhode Island and consequently I missed 
two votes.
  Had I been here I would have voted: ``yea'' on rollcall No. 35, and 
``yea'' on rollcall No. 36.
  At this time I would ask for unanimous consent that my positions be 
entered into the Record following those votes or in the appropriate 
portion of the Record.
