  Mr. KOLBE. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, I missed the following votes 
because I was traveling on a congressional delegation to Egypt: S. 
1235, on the motion to suspend the rules and pass the Veterans' 
Benefits Improvement Act, as amended (No. 177). Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``aye.'' H.R. 3858, on the motion to suspend the rules 
and pass the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act (No. 
178). Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye.''
