I was unable to be present. I was required to be in the district the

would have cast the following votes:
  On rollcall 336, I would have voted ``yes''; on rollcall 337, I would 
have voted ``no''; on rollcall 338, I would have voted ``yes''; on 
rollcall 339, I would have voted ``yes''; on rollcall 340, I would have 
voted ``yes''; on rollcall 341, I would have voted ``no''; on rollcall 
342, I would have voted ``yes''; on rollcall 343, I would have voted 
``yes''; on rollcall 344, I would have voted ``yes.''
