                         Tuesday, July 26, 2005

  Mr. SHAYS. Mr. Speaker, on July 25, I was returning to Washington 
from an oversight trip in Iraq 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 No. 417, yes on recorded vote No. 418, and 
yes on recorded vote No. 419.
