                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 5, 2004

  Mr. SHAYS. Mr. Speaker, on October 4, 2004, I had a meeting in my 
district and, therefore, missed three 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 ``aye'' on rollcall Vote No. 487, ``aye'' on rollcall Vote No. 
488, and ``aye'' on rollcall Vote No. 489.
