  Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. Speaker, on March 29, 2004, I was in my 
congressional district due to a death in my family. I missed the 
recorded votes on rollcall No. 94, to suspend the rules and pass H.R. 
2584, the Utrok Atoll Conveyance; rollcall No. 95, to suspend the rules 
and pass H.R. 3723, the Vaughn Gross Post Office Building. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 94 and ``yea'' on 
rollcall No. 95.
