  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I missed votes on H.J. Res. 
88, H.R. 2808, H. Res. 605, H. Res. 875 and H. Res. 981. Had I been 
present, I would have voted for each of these measures.
  I also missed votes on H.R. 503 and the Edwards motion to instruct 
conferees on H.R. 5122. Had I been present, I would have voted against 
these measures.
  In addition, there was a vote on a motion to close portions of the 
defense authorization conference to the press and public when matters 
of national security are under consideration. Had I been present, I 
would have voted for this.
