  Mr. EVANS. Mr. Speaker, on the afternoon of March 10 until the 
morning of March 15, I was part of an official congressional delegation 
to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima. The 
delegation also had official events in Guam and Hawaii. Due to my 
absence I was not able to make the following votes and would like the 
record to indicate that I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall vote No. 
62. I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall votes Nos. 63, 64, 65, 66, 
67, and 68.
