                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DENNIS MOORE

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 13, 2004

  Mr. MOORE. Mr. Speaker, on July 12, 2004, my flight was delayed due 
to inclement weather causing me to miss rollcall vote Nos. 359 and 360, 
the Holt and Hefley amendments to the legislative branch appropriations 
bill, H.R. 4755. The Holt amendment would increase funding for the 
General Accounting Office (GAO) to establish a Center for Science and 
Technology Assessment within the GAO. The Hefley amendment would reduce 
all of the discretionary appropriations in the bill by 1 percent. Had I 
been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on the Holt amendment and 
``nay'' on the Hefley amendment. Please let the record reflect how I 
would have voted.
