  Mr. SHAYS. Mr. Speaker, on March 19, I was in Florida participating 
in my close friend Ted Winpenny's wedding as his best man and 
therefore, missed four 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 number 65, yes on recorded vote number 66, 
yes on recorded vote number 67, and yes on recorded vote 68.
