                        Wednesday, March 7, 2001

  Mr. BALDACCI. Mr. Speaker, due to the blizzard in New England, I was 
unavoidably detained in my District and unable to get back to 
Washington yesterday to vote on rollcall votes 26 and 27. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yea'' on each vote, and I ask that my 
statement appear in the Record at the appropriate point.
