  Ms. LEE. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall Nos. 391, 392, and 393 on Monday, 
July 19, 2004, I was unavoidably detained due to inclement weather and 
delayed air service at Dulles International Airport, and unable to cast 
my vote.
  Had I been present, I would have voted the following: On rollcall 
391, the Viet Nam Human Rights Act of 2003, I would have voted ``no;'' 
on rollcall 392, concerning the importance of the distribution of food 
in schools to hungry or malnourished children around the world, I would 
have voted ``yea;'' and on rollcall 393, the Northern Uganda Crisis 
Response Act, I would have voted ``yea.''
