                          HON. ELTON GALLEGLY

                       Tuesday, February 3, 2004

  Mr. GALLEGLY. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, January 27, I was unable to 
vote on the motion to suspend the rules and pass, as amended, H.R. 
1385, to extend the provision of Title 39, United States Code, under 
which the United States Postal Service is authorized to issue a special 
postage stamp to benefit breast cancer research (roll call vote 6); and 
on the motion to suspend the rules and pass, as amended, H.R. 3493, the 
Medical Devices Technical Corrections Act (roll call vote 7). Had I 
been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on both measures.
  Similarly, Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, January 28, I was unable to 
vote on the Baldwin substitute amendment to S. 1920 (roll call vote 8); 
and on the motion to recommit with instructions the bill S. 1920 (roll 
call vote 9). Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on both 
measures. Further, Mr. Speaker, I was unable to vote on final passage 
of S. 1920, to extend for 6 months the period for which chapter 12 of 
Title 11 of the United States Code is reenacted (roll call vote 10). 
Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.'' And, finally, Mr. 
Speaker, I was unable to vote on the motion to instruct conferees on S. 
1920 (roll call vote 11). Had I been present, I would have voted 
``nay.''
