  Mr. WALSH of New York. Madam Speaker, on rollcall vote No. 712, which 
would have prohibited funds in the fiscal year 2008 Transportation-HUD 
Appropriations Act from being used to implement provisions of the 
Davis-Bacon Act, I was unavoidably detained and unable to vote. Had I 
been present I would have voted ``no.''
