                      Wednesday, November 17, 2004

  Mr. McDERMOTT. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to be in Washington, DC 
yesterday. Two weeks ago, I injured my leg and my physician prefers 
that I not put it through the stress of an airplane flight from my home 
in Seattle, WA to Washington, DC. Were I able to attend today's session 
in the House of Representatives, I would have voted in support of H.J. 
Res. 110, H. Res. 750, S. 2693, S. 2214, S. 2640, and H. Res. 641.
