  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, September 10, 2012 I 
had obligations that necessitated my attention in Champaign, Illinois 
and missed suspension votes on H.R. 6186, which directs FEMA to assess 
options, methods, and strategies for making voluntary community-based 
flood insurance policies available through the National Flood Insurance 
Program. H.R. 2139, which directs the Secretary of the Treasury to mint 
and issue as legal tender $1 coins in commemoration of the centennial 
of the founding of the Lions Clubs International. And lastly, H.R. 
6122, which directs the Librarian of Congress to accept in the interest 
of the Library of Congress, its collections, or its service personal 
property valued at $25,000 or less, nonpersonal services, or voluntary 
and uncompensated personal services.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on the above stated 
bills.
