  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Madam Speaker, unfortunately yesterday, July 
16, 2007, I was unable to cast my votes on H.R. 1980, H.R. 1982, and 
H.R. 799.
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 630 on suspending the rules and 
passing H.R. 1980, to authorize appropriations for the Housing 
Assistance Council, I would have voted, ``aye.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 631 on suspending the rules and 
passing H.R. 1982, the Rural Housing and Economic Development 
Improvement Act of 2007, I would have voted, ``aye.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 632 on suspending the rules and 
passing H.R. 799, the Appalachian Regional Development Act Amendments, 
I would have voted, ``aye.''
