  Mr. HIMES. Madam Speaker, I want to state for the record that on June 
11, 2009, I was attending the funeral of my father-in-law who recently 
passed away, and I therefore missed the six rollcall votes of the day.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote 
number 329, on the Motion to Instruct Conferees on H.R. 2346, the 
Supplemental Appropriations Act.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote 
number 330, on H.R. 1687, a bill to designate the Federal building and 
United States courthouse located at McKinley Avenue and Third Street, 
SW, Canton, OH, as the ``Ralph Regula Federal Building and United 
States Courthouse.''
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall vote 
number 331, the Ros-Lehtinen substitute amendment to H.R. 1886, the 
Pakistan Enduring Assistance and Cooperation Enhancement Act of 2009.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall vote 
number 332, the Motion to Recommit H.R. 1886, the Pakistan Enduring 
Assistance and Cooperation Act of 2009.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote 
number 333, final passage of H.R. 1886, the Pakistan Enduring 
Assistance and Cooperation Act of 2009.
  Lastly, had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall 
vote number 334, on H. Res. 529, condemning the violent attack on the 
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum on June 10, 2009, and honoring 
the bravery and dedication of United States Holocaust Memorial Museum 
employees and security personnel.
