On the recordJune 28, 2005

on Tuesday, June 28, 2005, I was detained and unable to cast my vote on H.R. 458, the Military Personnel Financial Services Protection Act. This important legislation will protect military services members from the sale of questionable financial products, curb abusive sales practices on military installations, and ensure regulatory oversight of financial services sales on military installations. Had I been present, I would have supported passage of the bill and would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall 324. In addition, I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall 325. ____________________
