  Mr. SHAW. Mr. Speaker, earlier this month, in the first week of 
February, I remained in Florida all week to attend to my wife, Emilie, 
who had to undergo surgery. I am pleased to report that she is doing 
well, and thank my colleagues for their expressions of kindness and 
support for her. While away from Washington on personal family medical 
leave, I was not present to record my vote on Roll Call Votes #6 
through #14. 1 ask unanimous consent that the Congressional Record 
reflect, in the appropriate place, that had I been present, I would 
have voted ``Yea'' in each instance, for recorded votes number 6, 7, 8, 
9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14.
