                        Wednesday, May 19, 2004

  Mr. SHAYS. Mr. Speaker, on May 18, I was returning to Washington from 
the World Economic Forum in Amman, Jordan 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 ``yes'' on recorded vote No. 180, ``yes'' on recorded vote No. 
181, and ``no'' on recorded vote No. 182.
