  Mr. ROTHMAN. Madam Speaker, I would like to state for the record my 
position on the following votes I missed on March 31st and April 1st,

have voted ``aye.''
  On rollcall vote No. 149, on H. Con. Res. 302, a resolution 
supporting the observance of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, I would 
have voted ``aye.''
  On rollcall vote No. 150, on H. Con. Res. 310, a resolution 
expressing support for a national day of remembrance for Harriet Ross 
Tubman, I would have voted ``aye.''
  On rollcall vote No. 151, on H. Res. 1005, a resolution supporting 
the goals and ideals of Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness 
Month, I would have voted ``aye.''
