                                 ______

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 28, 2004

  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, due to the ice and snow storm 
in the Washington, D.C. area last night, my flight, American Airlines 
No. 1548 from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport to Washington, 
D.C.'s Ronald Reagan National Airport, was significantly delayed by 
3\1/2\ hours. I therefore missed the two votes for the evening, Roll 
Call Nos. 6 and 7. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on 
H.R. 1385, an act authorizing the United States Postal Service to issue 
a special stamp to benefit breast cancer research; and I would also 
have voted ``yea'' on H.R. 3493, the Medical Devices Technical 
Corrections Act.
