                        Wednesday, May 25, 2005

  Mr. SHAYS. Mr. Speaker, on May 23, I was participating in the World 
Economic Forum in Amman, Jordan and, therefore, missed three recorded 
votes.
  I take my voting responsibility very seriously and would like the 
Congressional Record to reflect that, had I been present, I would have 
voted ``yes'' on recorded vote number 200, ``yes'' on recorded vote 
number 201, and ``yes'' on recorded vote number 202.
