On the recordSeptember 7, 2006
due to circumstances beyond my control on Thursday, September 7, 2006, I regrettably missed the vote on H. Res. 981, a bill providing for consideration of H.R. 503, the Horse Protection Act. H. Res. 981 presents a reasonable rule that made several amendments in order, and allowed adequate time to have a full and fair debate on the underlying bill. In turn, I would have voted ``yea'' on H. Res. 981, so that we could begin to consider the underlying provisions of H.R. 503.
