                       Tuesday, December 13, 2005

  Mr. MARSHALL. Mr. Speaker, correction: I intended to vote against the 
U.S.-Bahrain Free Trade Agreement and attempted to do so. Upon 
inquiring with the clerk why my vote was recorded as a ``yes'' instead 
of a ``no'', the clerk checked the electronic record and discovered 
that I had pressed the ``no'' button several times on the preceding 
vote. At no time did I intend to cast a ``yes'' vote on the agreement. 
To date, I have voted against every trade agreement that has come up 
while I have been in Congress, including the agreement with Bahrain.
