  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, due to the cancellation of my 
flight to Washington from my Congressional District on May 1, I missed 
the following 2 rollcall votes:
  Rollcall No. 90, on H. Con. Res. 91, ``Recognizing the importance of 
increasing awareness of the autism spectrum disorder, and supporting 
programs for greater research and improved treatment of autism,'' which 
passed the House 418-1. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.''
  Rollcall No. 91 on H. Con. Res. 95, ``Supporting a National Charter 
Schools Week,'' which passed the House 404-6 with 7 voting present. Had 
I been present, I would have voted ``yea.''
