                                 ______

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 21, 2001

  Mr. TIAHRT. Mr. Speaker, on March 20th, I was unavoidably detained 
and missed rollcall votes numbered 51 and 52. Rollcall vote 51 was on 
passage of H. Res. 67, recognizing the impact tuberculosis has on 
minority populations and the need to combat it on a worldwide basis. 
Rollcall vote 52 was on passage of H. Con. Res. 41, expressing sympathy 
for the victims of the El Salvadoran earthquakes. Had I been present I 
would have voted ``yea'' on both H. Res. 67 and H. Con. Res. 41.
