  Mr. HYDE. Mr. Speaker, on February 27, 2003, I was unavoidably absent 
for several rollcall votes, due to influenza and a physician's advice 
to rest.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall votes 37 
(Greenwood Substitute Amendment) and 38 (Motion to Recommit) and 
``yea'' on rollcall vote 39 (Final Passage of H.R. 534--Human Cloning 
Prohibition Act).
