  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Madam Speaker, unfortunately, I was 
unable to travel to Washington, DC for votes on September 10, 2007.
  However, I would like the record to reflect that I would have 
recorded ``yes'' for that day's recorded votes. They included:
  (1) H. Res. 257--Supporting the goals and ideals of Pancreatic Cancer 
Awareness Month, and;
  (2) H. Res. 643--Recognizing September 11 as a day of rememberance, 
extending sympathies to those who lost their lives on September 11, 
2001, and their families, honoring the heroic actions of our nation's 
first responders and Armed Forces, and reaffirming the commitment to 
defending the people of the United States against any and all future 
challenges.
