  Mr. SHAYS. Mr. Speaker, on June 12, 2006, I was speaking to a group 
of professionals in New York City about my work in Congress and, 
therefore, missed five recorded votes.
  I take my voting responsibility very seriously, and had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yes'' on recorded vote No. 251, ``yes'' 
on recorded vote 252, ``yes'' on recorded vote 253, ``yes'' on recorded 
vote 254, and ``yes'' on recorded vote 255.
