                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 8, 2001

  Mr. SHAYS. Mr. Speaker, on November 6, I was in Connecticut 
participating in our local elections and, therefore, missed three 
recorded votes.
  I take my voting responsibility very seriously and would like the 
Congressional Record to reflect that, had I been present, I would have 
voted ``yes'' on recorded vote No. 426, ``yes'' on recorded vote No. 
427, and ``yes'' on recorded vote No. 428.
