  Ms. KILPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, due to official leave of absence, I was 
unable to vote on three bills considered today under suspension of the 
rules. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on final passage 
of H. Res. 64, Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives 
that the Government of Bangladesh should immediately drop all pending 
charges against Bangladeshi journalist Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury; 
``yea'' on final passage of H. Res. 228, Recognizing the 186th 
anniversary of the independence of Greece and celebrating Greek and 
American democracy, and ``yea'' on final passage of H. Res 222, 
Expressing the support of the House of Representatives for the Good 
Friday Agreement, signed on April 10, 1998, as a blueprint for a 
lasting peace in Northern Ireland, and for other purposes.
