  Mr. RYUN of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, I missed three votes 
in the House of Representatives on May 17, 2004 due to my attendance at 
events marking the 50th anniversary of the Brown vs. Board of Education 
decision. Had I been in attendance I would have made the following 
votes:
  Vote on Passage of H. Con. Res. 420--Recognizing National 
Transportation Week. Had I been in attendance, I would have voted 
``yea.''
  Vote on Passage of H. Con. Res. 423--Authorizing Capitol Grounds for 
the Dedication of WWII Memorial. Had I been in attendance, I would have 
voted ``yea.''
  Vote on Passage of H. Con. Res. 403--Condemning the Sudan for 
civilian attacks in the Darfur region. Had I been in attendance, I 
would have voted ``yea.''
