  Mrs. MALONEY. Mr. Speaker, on March 31, I attended the service and 
funeral of my dear friend and mentor, Geraldine Ferraro, and missed 
rollcall votes Number 205 and 206. Had I been present, I would have 
voted ``nay'' on rollcall votes 205, providing for consideration of the 
bill (H.R. 658) to amend title 49, United States Code, to authorize 
appropriations for the Federal Aviation Administration for fiscal years 
2011 through 2014 and 206, to amend the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 
and Rodenticide Act and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to 
clarify congressional intent regarding the regulation of the use of 
pesticides in or near navigable waters.
