Rollcall vote 459 was on agreeing to the Resolution providing for 
consideration of motions to suspend the rules. Rollcall vote 460 was on 
the motion to suspend the rules and agree to H.R. 3673, a bill to 
further Emergency Supplemental Appropriations, Hurricane Katrina, 2005. 
Rollcall vote 461 was on the motion to suspend the rules and agree to 
H.R. 3669, a bill to temporarily increase the borrowing authority of 
the Federal Emergency Management Agency for carrying out the national 
flood insurance program. Rollcall vote 462 was on the motion to suspend 
the rules and agree to H.R. 3668, a bill to provide the Secretary of 
Education with waiver authority for students who are eligible for

disaster. Rollcall vote 463 was on the motion to suspend the rules and 
agree to H. Res. 428, a bill expressing the sincere gratitude of the 
House of Representatives to the foreign individuals, organizations, and 
governments that have offered material assistance and other forms of

vote 464 was on the motion to suspend the rules and agree to H. Res. 
427, a bill relating to the terrorist attacks against the United States 
on September 11, 2001.
  Had I been present I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall votes 458 
and 459 and ``yea'' on rollcall votes 460, 461, 462, 463, and 464.
