  Mr. KENNEDY. Madam Speaker, I regret that I was unable to participate 
in a series of votes on the floor of the House of Representatives 
today.
  Had I been present to vote on rollcall No. 337, on a motion to 
suspend the rules and pass the bill H.R. 1961, the Hoh Indian Tribe 
Safe Homelands Act, I would have voted ``aye'' on the question.
  Had I been present to vote on rollcall No. 338, on a motion to 
suspend the rules and pass the bill H. Res. 518, Honoring the life of 
Jacques-Yves Cousteau, explorer, researcher, and pioneer in the field 
of marine conservation, I would have voted ``aye'' on the question.
