  Mr. ROGERS. Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, June 23rd, I was speaking to a 
large group of Kentucky high school students on school violence, and 
was unable to arrive for rollcall vote No. 247. The vote was on passage 
of H. Res. 218, providing consideration for the FY 2000 Transportation 
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. If I had been present, I would 
have voted ``aye.''
