  Mr. HYDE. Mr. Speaker, on September 28, 2005, I was absent for two 
votes because I was chairing a classified briefing with the Secretary 
of Defense providing information to members about U.S. efforts in Iraq. 
Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall vote No. 500, 
on motion to recommit and ``yes'' on rollcall vote No. 501 on passage.
