  Mr. NUSSLE. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (April 
20-22), I missed a series of roll call votes (Roll Call Votes No. 92-
96). I had been granted a leave of absence by the House of 
Representatives to travel to and from, and to attend, the funeral of my 
grandmother. Had I been present during those votes, I would have cast 
my vote in the following manner:
  Rollcall vote No. 92 (To suspend the rules and pass H.R. 573) `aye' 
yea;
  Rollcall vote No. 93 (To suspend the rules and pass H. Res. 128) 
`aye' yea;
  Rollcall vote No. 94 (To agree to the Conference Report to H.R. 800) 
`aye' yea;
  Rollcall vote No. 95 (On passage of H.R. 1184) `aye' yea; and
  Rollcall vote No. 96 (On motion to instruct conferees on H.R. 1141)
