                         Sunday, March 20, 2005

  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I was not present for rollcall 90, the vote 
on S. 686, because I had made a promise to my family that I would be 
present with them in Florida for a very important occasion in the life 
of my 10-year-old daughter. Had I been present, I would have voted 
``no.''
