cast my floor vote on rollcall Nos. 487, 488, and 489. The votes I 
missed include rollcall vote No. 487 on the Motion to Suspend the Rules 
and Agree to S. Con. Res.76, recognizing that November 2, 2003, shall 
be dedicated to A Tribute to Survivors at the United States Holocaust 
Memorial Museum; rollcall vote No. 488 on the Motion to Suspend the 
Rules and Pass S. 1814, to transfer Federal lands between the Secretary

489, on the Motion to Suspend the Rules and Agree to H. Res. 567, 
Congratulating the American Dental Association for sponsoring the 
second annual Give Kids a Smile program.
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall vote Nos. 487, 488, and 489.
