                      Thursday, September 20, 2001

  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to cast votes on 
September 10 due to important district business, and I was out of the 
country on September 11, 12, and 13, 2001. If I was present for 
rollcall votes for the following bills:
  336 on motion to suspend the rules and pass H.R. 1766--To designate 
the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 4270 John 
Marr Drive in Annandale, Virginia, as the ``Stan Parris Post Office 
Building'';
  337 on motion to suspend the rules and pass as amended H.R. 1761--To 
designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 
8588 Richmond Highway in Alexandria, Virginia, as the ``Herb E. Harris 
Post Office Building'';
  338 on passage of H.J. Res. 61--Expressing the sense of the Senate 
and House of Representatives regarding the terrorist attacks launched 
against the United States on September 11, 2001;
  339 on passage of H.R. 2882--To provide for the expedited payment of 
certain benefits for a public safety officer who was killed or suffered 
a catastrophic injury as a direct result of a personal injury sustained 
in the line of duty in connection with the terrorist attacks on 
September 11, 2001;
  340 on passage of H.R. 2884--Victims of Terrorism Relief Act of 2001; 
and
  341 on passage of H.R. 2888--Emergency Supplemental Appropriations 
for FY 2001.
  I would have voted ``yea'' to all of these bills.
