  Mr. HONDA. Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, May 12th, I was unavoidably 
detained and missed rollcall votes on that day.
  Had I been present I would have voted the following: ``no'' on 
rollcall vote number 169, the Weiner Amendment limiting the number of 
Urban Area Security Initiative grants during any given fiscal year to 
50, and ``yea'' on rollcall vote number 170, final passage of H.R. 
1544, the Faster & Smarter Funding for First Responders Act of 2005.
