  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, September 23, 2004 I was 
unavoidably detained and thus missed rollcall vote Nos. 466, 467, 468 
469, 470, 471 and 472. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' 
on 466, an amendment by Mr. Watt; ``yea'' on 467, passage of the Pledge 
Protection Act; ``yea'' on 468, the Adoption Tax Relief Guarantee Act; 
``yea'' on 469; ``yea'' on 470; ``yea'' on 471; and ``yea'' on 4721, 
passage of the conference report to H.R. 1308, which I previously 
supported.
