  Mr. EVANS. Mr. Speaker, on the afternoon of March 10th until the 
morning of March 15th, I was part of an official congressional 
delegation to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Iwo 
Jima. The delegation also had official events in Guam and Hawaii. Due 
to my absence I was not able to make the following votes and would like 
the record to indicate that I would have voted ``nay'' on roll call 
vote number 62. I would have voted ``aye'' on roll call votes number 
63, 64, 65, 66, 67, and 68.
