  Mr. CARDIN. Mr. Speaker, on July 6 and July 7, I was away from 
Washington on official Congressional business. During that time, I was 
unable to vote on several issues of importance to the people of my 
district. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall 
No. 328, ``aye'' on rollcall No. 329, ``no'' on rollcall No. 331, and 
``aye'' on rollcall No. 332.
