  Mr. BATEMAN. Mr. Speaker, due to continued convalescence from a 
recent surgery, I missed 2 votes on June 4, 1998. I wish to ask 
unanimous consent to include in the Record my statement as to how I 
would have voted had I been present.
  On rollcall vote No. 204, I would have voted ``aye.''
  On rollcall vote No. 205, I would have voted ``aye.''
