cast my floor vote on rollcall numbers 524, 525, 526 and 527. The votes 
I missed included a motion to suspend the rules and agree to as 
amended, H. Res. 1070; a motion to suspend the rules and pass, as 
amended H.R. 1176; a motion to suspend the rules and pass H.R. 6099; 
and a motion to suspend the rules and agree to H. Res. 1082.
