                        Tuesday, October 2, 2001

  Mr. TIBERI. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, September 24, 2001, I was delayed 
in returning to Washington, D.C. from Columbus, OH due to inclement 
weather. As a result, I was unable to record a vote on rollcall No. 349 
(H.R. 717) and rollcall No. 350 (H.J. Res. 65). I fully support these 
important measures and had I been present, I would have voted in favor 
of both.
