                        Friday, December 8, 2006

  Mr. TAYLOR of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, December 5th, 
2006, I was unavoidably detained, and I was unable to cast my vote 
during rollcall number 524 on H. Res. 1070, expressing the sense of the 
House of Representatives that Members of the House should actively 
engage with employers and the American public at large to encourage the 
hiring of members and former members of the Armed Forces who were 
wounded in service and are facing a transition to civilian life.
  As a member of the House Armed Services Committee and a long-time 
champion of the military men and women who serve our Nation, I would 
have voted ``aye.''
