  Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. Speaker, as the chairman of the Economic 
Opportunities Subcommittee under the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, 
I traveled to South Dakota on Sunday, June 18, 2006, to hold a field 
hearing. Due to the timing of the hearing and return travel, I was 
unable to participate in votes on Monday, June 19, 2006. I am 
requesting my absence for this date. I would also like you to note 
that, should I have been present, I would have voted in the following 
manner: H.R. 5540--Sergeant Jacob Dan Dones Post Office Designation 
Act, ``yes''; H.R. 5504--Larry Winn, Jr. Post Office Building 
Designation Act, ``yes''; and H. Res. 826--Expressing the sense of the 
House of Representatives that a National Youth Sports Week should be 
established, ``yes.''
