  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I regret that I missed four votes on May 
19th, 2006. Had I been present I would have voted ``no'' on defeating 
the Previous Question on H.Res. 821 (the Rule providing consideration 
for H.R. 5385--Military Quality of Life and Veterans Affairs 
Appropriations Act); ``no'' on H.Res. 821 (the Rule providing 
consideration for H.R. 5385--Military Quality of Life and Veterans 
Affairs Appropriations Act); ``yes'' on the Blumenauer Amendment 
(increasing appropriations for the clean up on closed military bases) 
and ``yes'' on H.R. 5385 (Military Quality of Life an Veterans Affairs 
Appropriations Act).
