                      Wednesday, January 26, 2005

  Mr. SHAYS. Mr. Speaker, on January 25, I was participating in the 
World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland and, therefore, missed two 
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 number 8 and yes on recorded vote number 9.
