  Ms. LINDA T. SANCHEZ of California. Madam Speaker, unfortunately, I 
was unable to be present in the Capitol on Monday, May 4, 2009 and 
therefore unable to cast votes on the House Floor that evening.
  However, had I been present I would have voted ``yea'' on H. Res. 
230, recognizing the historical significance of the Mexican holiday of 
Cinco de Mayo; and ``yea'' on H. Con. Res. 111, recognizing the 61st 
anniversary of the independence of the State of Israel.
