                      Thursday, September 8, 2005

  Mrs. EMERSON. Mr. Speaker, earlier this week I accompanied 
constituents of mine from West Plains, Missouri, as they delivered 
supplies to the people that have been affected by Hurricane Katrina. As 
a result I missed rollcall votes Nos. 454, 455, 456, 457, 458, and 459 
on September 6, 7, and 8, 2005. Had I been present, I would have voted 
``yes'' on all of the aforementioned rollcall votes.

                          ____________________
