  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, June 25, I missed rollcall votes 
186-188. Had I been present on this date, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall Nos. 186, 187, and 188. On this date, I had committed to 
participating in an event in my congressional district prior to the 
scheduling of votes.
