  Mrs. MALONEY. Mr. Speaker, on September 6, 2005, I was unavoidably 
detained and missed rollcall votes numbered 454 and 455. Rollcall vote 
454 was on the motion to suspend the rules and agree to, H. Res. 360, 
commemorating the 60th anniversary of V-J Day and the end of World War 
II in the Pacific. Rollcall vote 455 was on the motion to suspend the 
rules and agree to, S.J. Res. 19, a joint resolution calling upon the 
President to issue a proclamation recognizing the 30th anniversary of 
the Helsinki Final Act.
  Had I been present I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall votes 454 
and 455.
