                            HON. SAM GRAVES

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 9, 2004

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, June 8, 2004, I was unavoidably 
detained and thus missed Rollcall No. 229 and No. 230. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yea'' on Rollcall No. 229, expressing the 
profound regret and sorrow of the House of Representatives on the death 
of Ronald Wilson Reagan, former President of the United States of 
America, and ``nay'' on Rollcall No. 230, on approving the journal.
