Sam Farr said "Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to speak out of order for one minute. This morning I had the privilege of attending the funeral ceremony for Col. Dan Devlin and his wife Darlene. They were interred at Arlington National Cemetery with full honors. Col. Devlin had served as Commandant at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey in my district. However, while I was at the funeral I missed four votes. Had I been here I would have voted in this way: ``Yes'' on H.R. 1514, the Juvenile Accountability Block Grant Program Reauthorization; ``yes'' on H.R. 5325, the America COMPETES Reauthorization; ``yes'' on H. Res. 1325, Recognizing National Missing Childrens Day; and ``yes'' on H. Res. 1362, to commend the life of Lena Horne. ___________________
