  Mr. RYUN of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, Unfortunately, I missed the votes in 
the House of Representatives on June 16, 2003. Had I been in attendance 
I would have made the following votes:
  H.R. 2254, the Bruce Woodbury Post Office Building Designation Act. 
Had I been in attendance, I would have voted ``yea.''
  H. Con. Res. 220, Commending Medgar Wiley Evers and his widow, Myrlie 
Evers-Williams, for their lives and accomplishments. Had I been in 
attendance, I would have voted ``yea.''
  S. 703, the Carl T. Curtis National Park Service Midwest Regional 
Headquarters Building Designation Act. Had I been in attendance, I 
would have voted ``yea.''
