  Mr. GIBBONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to explain how I would have 
voted on November 7, 2005 during rollcall votes Nos. 570, 571 and 572 
during the first session of the 109th Congress. The first vote was on 
H. Con. Res. 260--Recognizing the 40th anniversary of the Second 
Vatican Council's Declaration of the Relation of the Church to Non-
Christian Religions, the second vote was H.R. 1973--Water for the Poor 
Act of 2005, and the third vote, H. Res. 444--Gynecological Resolution 
for Advancement of Ovarian Cancer Education.
  If present, I would have voted ``yea'' on these rollcall votes.
