  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, 
September 7, 2005, I was unavoidably absent due to a previously 
scheduled engagement.
  I request that the Congressional Record reflect that had I been 
present and voting, I would have voted as follows:
  (1) Rollcall No. 457. On H.R. 3169, to provide the Secretary of 
Education with waiver authority for students who are eligible for Pell 
Grants who are adversely affected by a natural disaster: ``yes.''
  (2) Rollcall No. 456. On H.R. 3650, to allow United States Courts to 
conduct business during emergency conditions, and for other purposes: 
``yes.''
