                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 29, 2006

  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, last night, during a series of two-minute 
votes, I inadvertently voted ``no'' on rollcall No. 340. I had intended 
to vote ``aye.'' I would like to make it clear for the record, that I 
do not support the multilingual ballot provision in the Voting Rights 
Act, and that I oppose such provisions that mandate financial burdens 
on the states and further divide this great Nation.
