  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Madam Speaker, please excuse my absence from 
the formal House of Representatives swearing in ceremony today as I was 
unavoidably detained while paying my respects to a fallen soldier from 
my district at his funeral in Arlington National Cemetery. I appreciate 
the opportunity to take my oath of office on my return to the U.S. 
Capitol.
