  Ms. LEE. Mr. Speaker, on March 8, 2005 during rollcall votes Nos. 53, 
54, and 55, I was unavoidably detained due to inclement weather on my 
travel back to Washington, DC.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on all three 
resolutions: the Journal vote, H. Res. 133, a bill pertaining to 
funding of the standing committees of the U.S. House of 
Representatives, and H. Res. 122, legislation urging the President to 
proclaim a special year of languages.
