  Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, today I was unavoidably delayed 
and missed the votes on:
  1. H. Res. 593--Recognizing and celebrating the 50th Anniversary of 
the entry of Hawaii into the Union as the 50th State
  2. H.R. 1376--Waco Mammoth National Monument Establishment Act of 
2009
  3. H.R. 1121--Blue Ridge Parkway and Town of Blowing Rock Land 
Exchange Act of 2009
  I respectfully request the opportunity to record my position. Had I 
been present I would have voted ``yea'' on these votes.
  At this time I would ask for unanimous consent that my position be 
entered into the Record following that vote or in the appropriate 
portion of the Record.

                          ____________________
