                        Wednesday, March 5, 2003

  Mr. GALLEGLY. Mr. Speaker, on February 25, 2003, I was unavoidably 
detained and unable to vote on H. Res. 46, honoring the life of Al 
Hirschfeld and his legacy, and H. Con. Res. 40, permitting the use of 
the Rotunda of the Capitol for a ceremony as part of the commemoration 
of the days of remembrance of victims of the Holocaust. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yes'' on both measures.
