  Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Madam Speaker, due to mechanical difficulties 
involving my flight back to Washington, DC from Indianapolis, I was 
unable to be on the House Floor for roll call votes 478 and 479.
  Had I been present I would have voted aye on Roll Call vote 478--
Directing the Architect of the Capitol to place a marker in 
Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center which acknowledges the 
role that slave labor played in the construction of the United States 
Capitol; and nay on Roll Call vote 479--To create a new Federal grant 
program to facilitate an iron working training program for Native 
Americans.
