Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall No. 254, the motion on ordering the previous question on the rule; and ``no'' on rollcall No. 253, H. Res. 271, the rule providing for further consideration of H.R. 1947, Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act. ____________________
