  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, Monday, May 16, 2005, I was unavoidably 
detained and thus missed rollcall votes No. 171, No. 172, and No. 173. 
Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 171, 
H.R. 627, to designate the Linda White-Epps Post Office; ``yea'' on 
rollcall No. 172, H. Res. 266, supporting the goals and ideals of Peace 
Officers Memorial Day; and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 173, H.R. 2107, 
modifying the authorities for the use of the National Law Enforcement 
Officers Memorial Maintenance Fund.
