  Ms. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, I was absent from votes in the House 
Tuesday afternoon (July 24th), due to testifying before the Senate 
Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human 
Rights. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall votes 
502 (the motion on ordering the previous question on H. Res. 738) and 
503 (H. Res. 738, the rule providing for consideration of both H.R. 
4078 and H.R. 6082).
