  Mr. PENCE. Madam Speaker, I rise to state that I was on an official 
leave of absence from the U.S. House of Representatives on account of 
the funeral of a close personal friend and unable to vote on rollcall 
votes Nos. 548 through 572. Had I been present, I would have voted 
``aye'' on Nos. 548 through 551, 554 through 569, and 572, and ``nay'' 
on Nos. 552, 553, 570, and 571.
