  Mr. GIBBONS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to offer a personal 
explanation of the reason I missed rollcall votes Nos. 267-271 on June 
18, 2004. These votes were on amendments to H.R. 4567 and on final 
passage of H.R. 4567, Making Appropriations for the Department of 
Homeland Security for FY 2005. At the time these votes were called, I 
was in my Congressional District in Reno, Nevada with President Bush 
for his speaking engagement.
  I respectfully request that it be entered into the Congressional 
Record that if present, I would have voted: rollcall Vote No. 267, on 
the Jackson-Lee Amendment--``No''; rollcall Vote No. 268, on the 
DeLauro Amendment--``No''; rollcall Vote No. 269, on the Roybal-Allard 
Amendment--``No''; rollcall Vote No. 270, on the Tancredo Amendment--
``Yes''; rollcall Vote No. 271, on the Maloney Amendment--``Yes''; 
rollcall Vote No. 272, on the Sabo Amendment--``No''; rollcall Vote No. 
273, on the Markey Amendment--``No''; rollcall Vote No. 274, on the 
Velazquez Amendment--``No''; rollcall Vote No. 275, on Final Passage of 
H.R. 4567--``Yes''.
