  Mr. EHLERS. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 405, I missed the vote due 
to flight delays on two successive United Airlines flights. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yea.''
  Ms. McCARTHY of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 405. The 
motion to close proceedings on H.R. 2561, I was unavoidably detained on
