                      Wednesday, December 7, 2005

  Mr. BROWN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, December 6, 2005, I was 
unable to cast votes on two measures on the suspension calendar. I ask 
that my absence be excused, and that the Congressional Record show that 
had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on H. Res. 535, honoring 
the legacy of Yitzhak Rabin, and ``yea'' on H. Res. 479, commemorating 
the 50th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
