  Mr. McDERMOTT. Mr. Speaker, I am unable to be in Washington, DC 
today. Two weeks ago, I injured my leg and my physician prefers that I 
not put it through the stress of an airplane flight from my home in 
Seattle, WA to Washington, DC. Were I able to attend today's session in 
the House of Representatives, I would have voted in support of:
  S. 1301, H.R. 5364, H. Con. Res. 430, S. 2965, H.R. 4516, H.R. 3204, 
H.R. 1350, H.R. 1417, S. 2302, S. 2042, H.R. 5363, S. 2302, H.R. 1417, 
S. Con. Res. 145, S. 1146, S. 1466, S. 434, H.R. 1284, S. 1727, S. 
1241, H.R. 1446, H.R. 1964, H.R. 1113, H.R. 4593, S. 437, S. 2484, H.R.
