                      Tuesday, September 20, 2005

  Mrs. MUSGRAVE. Mr. Speaker, due to meetings during the series of 
votes on Thursday, September 15, I did not make it back to the House 
floor in time for the last vote (rollcall vote No. 475).
  H. Res. 473 was to establish the Select Bipartisan Committee to 
Investigate the Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina.
  Mr. Speaker, had I been present, I would have votes ``yes'' to 
establish the hurricane commission.
