  Mr. UDALL of Colorado. Madam Speaker, I was unavoidably detained in 
returning to Washington, DC, on Monday, October 29th and so was not 
present for 3 votes. If I had been present, I would have voted as 
follows:
  (1) H.R. 3224--Dam Rehabilitation and Repair Act of 2007--I would 
have voted ``yea'' on this excellent bill by our Colorado colleague, 
Representative John Salazar;
  (2) H. Res. 573--Recognizing and commending the efforts of the United 
States public and advocacy groups to raise awareness about and help end 
the worsening humanitarian crisis and genocide in Darfur, Sudan, and 
for other purposes--I would have voted ``yea''; and
  (3) H. Res. 747--Recognizing the religious and historical 
significance of the festival of Diwali--I would have voted ``yea.''
