                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 18, 2003

  Mr. KIND. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, November 17, 2003, I was unable to 
record my vote on three resolutions under suspension of the rules, and 
one motion changing the hour of meeting. My unavoidable absence was due 
to the fact that I was hosting an important forum on Chronic Wasting 
Disease in Wisconsin with federal and state leaders.
  Had I been able to vote, I would have voted the following:
  Roll call #620: Yes, Roll call #621: Yes, Roll call #622: Yes, Roll 
call #623: Yes.
