  Ms. BEAN. Mr. Speaker, on March 8, 2005, having been unavoidably 
detained due to congressional business related to my work on the 
Financial Services Committee, I was unable to vote on Approving the 
Journal (Rollcall No. 53), H. Res. 133 (Rollcall No. 54), and H. Res. 
122 (Rollcall No. 55). Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' 
on all three measures considered before the House.
