  Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, yesterday I missed Rollcall vote No. 
1082, on passage of H.R. 3315. I strongly support this legislation, 
which would provide that the great hall of the new Capitol Visitor 
Center shall be known as Emancipation Hall, and I would have voted 
``yes'' on passage had I been present.
