  Ms. HARRIS. Mr. Speaker, due to the recent devastation caused by 
Hurricane Wilma on the State of Florida, I was unable to attend votes 
on Thursday, October 27, 2005 due to a visit to the State with 
President Bush and other delegation Members. While I am disappointed I 
was not able to be present, I am asking, that you include the following 
intended votes in the Congressional Record.
  I would have voted nay on H.J. Res. 65, the Schiff Amendment to H.R. 
420, as well as the Democratic Motion to Recommit H.R. 420. I would 
have voted yea on H.R. 3945, H. Res. 368, Final Passage of H.R. 420, 
and the Motion to Instruct Conferees on H.R. 3047.
  Again, I apologize for my absence and thank you in advance for your 
time and attention to this matter.
