  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, I took a leave of absence today. Had I been 
in attendance I would have voted as follows:

certain lands in Virgin Islands National Park, and for other purposes 
(Representative Christensen--Natural Resources).
  ``Yea''--H.R. 1311--to direct the Secretary of the Interior to convey 
the Alta-Hualapai Site to the city of Las Vegas, Nevada, for the 
development of a cancer treatment facility (Representative Berkley--
Natural Resources).
  ``Yea''--H.R. 816--to provide for the release of certain land from 
the Sunrise Mountain Instant Study Area in the State of Nevada and to 
grant a right-of-way across the released land for the construction and 
maintenance of a flood control project (Representative Porter--Natural 
Resources).
