  Mr. BONNER. Madam Speaker, on Friday, June 15, 2007, and Monday, June 
18, 2007, I attended events with Alabama's governor and other elected 
leaders to recruit significant economic development projects for my 
district and our state and subsequently was absent for 36 votes. Had I 
been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall 491 and ``yea'' on 
rollcall 498.
