  Mr. UDALL of Colorado. Madam Speaker, on Wednesday I was unavoidably 
detained and unable to reach the House floor in time for two rollcall 
votes.
  If I had been present, I would have voted as follows:
  Rollcall No. 165--on adoption of H. Res. 1084, Providing for 
consideration of the bill H.R. 2016, to establish the National 
Landscape Conservation System, and for other purposes--I would have 
voted, ``yes.''
  Rollcall No. 166--on passage of H. Res. 1077, Calling on the 
Government of the People's Republic of China to end its crackdown in 
Tibet and to enter into a substantive dialogue with His Holiness the 
Dalai Lama to find a negotiated solution that respects the distinctive 
language, culture, religious identity, and fundamental freedom of all 
Tibetans--I would have voted, ``yes.''
