  Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, on May 10th, my wife died after a 
long battle with cancer. During her final weeks and in immediate 
aftermath of her death, I was unable to depart Indianapolis, and 
consequently, I missed several roll call votes. Had I been here I would 
have voted Yea on roll call votes 171-191; No on roll call vote 192; 
Yea on roll call vote 193-194; No on roll call votes 195-197; Yea on 
roll call vote 198; No on roll call votes 199-202; and Yea on roll call 
votes 203-206.
