  Mr. SHAYS. Mr. Speaker, on May 19, I was participating in the World 
Economic Forum in Amman, Jordan and, therefore, missed 10 recorded 
votes.
  I take my voting responsibility very seriously and would like the 
Congressional Record to reflect that, had I been present, I would have 
voted ``yes'' on recorded vote No. 190, ``no'' on recorded vote No. 
191, ``no'' on recorded vote No. 192, ``no'' on recorded vote No. 193, 
``yes'' on recorded vote No. 194, ``no'' on recorded vote No. 195, 
``yes'' on recorded vote No. 196, ``no'' on recorded vote No. 197, 
``no'' on recorded vote No. 198, and ``no'' on recorded vote No. 199.
