Dear Mr. Scanlan:
On Wednesday, August 4, 1999 I was unable to be present for a roll call vote taken on Senate

previously scheduled commitment out of the building. Had I been present, I would have voted in
the affirmative on enactment of this bill.
I would greatly appreciate your assistance with the printing of this communication in the Senate
Journal. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this matter.
Sincerely,
RICHARD R. TISEI,
State Senator.
