                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 30, 2005

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to vote on an amendment to 
H.R. 3058, which makes appropriations for the Departments of 
Transportation, Treasury, and Housing and Urban Development, the 
Judiciary, District of Columbia, and independent agencies for the 
fiscal year ending September 30, 2006, and for other purposes.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on Mr. King of Iowa's 
amendment, rollcall Number 341.
