missed include rollcall vote 40 on Suspending the Rules and Agreeing to 
H. Res. 106, Congratulating Lutheran Schools; rollcall vote 41 on 
Suspending the Rules and Agreeing to H. Con. Res. 54, Expressing 
support of National Visiting Nurse Association Week; and rollcall vote

rollcall votes 40, 41 and 42.
