  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, I hosted an important conference on 
retirement security issues last night in Hibbing, MN, as part of my 
Hometown Values Forum series, and I missed several votes last night and

I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall vote 178; I would have voted 
``aye'' on rollcall 179; I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall vote 
180; I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall vote 181; and I would have 
voted ``nay'' on rollcall vote 182.
