  Ms. LINDA T. SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, on September 7, 2006 
I missed rollcall vote No. 431 on the Goodlatte Amendment to the 
American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act (H.R. 503). Had I been present 
I would have voted against this amendment because it is impractical to 
expect that all the horses that would otherwise be slaughtered would be 
able to go to rescue facilities. These horses could be humanely 
euthanized, adopted by other owners or kept longer by their current 
owners. If passed, this amendment would have severely compromised the 
underlying bill which I support.
