  Mr. BROWN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, November 7, 2005, I was 
unable to cast votes on 3 measures on the suspension calendar. I ask 
that my absence be excused, and that the Congressional Record show that 
had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on H. Con. Res. 260 
(Recognizing the 40th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council's 
Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions, 
Nostra Aetate, and the continuing need for mutual inter-religious 
respect and dialogue), ``yea'' on H.R. 1973 (Water for the Poor Act of 
2005), and ``yea'' on H. Res. 444 (Gynecological Resolution for 
Advancement of Ovarian Cancer Education).
