  Mr. GIBBONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to explain how I would have 
voted on May 22, 2006 during rollcall votes #177 and #178 during the 
second session of the 109th Congress. The first vote was for S. 1235, 
the Veterans' Benefits Improvement Act of 2005. The second vote was for 
H.R. 3858, the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act of 
2005.
  If present, I would have voted ``yes'' on these rollcall votes.
