                                 ______

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 30, 2005

  Mr. SHAYS. Mr. Speaker, on June 28, I was attending a funeral and 
missed 2 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 324 and ``yes'' on recorded vote 
number 325. I also missed recorded vote number 331. Had I voted, I 
would have voted ``no.''
