                            HON. MARK UDALL

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 12, 2007

  Mr. UDALL of Colorado. Madam Speaker, on Monday I took part in a 
meeting in Denver at which the Advisory Board on Radiation and Health 
considered questions related to a petition to include people who worked 
at the Rocky Flats site as part of the ``special exposure cohort'' 
under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program 
Act (EEOICPA).
  As a result, I was not able to be present for three votes in the 
House.
  Had I been present, I would have voted as follows:
  Rollcall No. 448--H.R. 2356, to amend title 4, United States Code, to 
encourage the display of the flag of the United States on Father's 
Day--I would have voted ``yes.''
  Rollcall No. 449--S. 676, to provide that the Executive Director of 
the Inter-American Development Bank or the Alternate Executive Director 
of the Inter-American Development Bank may serve on the Board of 
Directors of the Inter-American Foundation--I would have voted ``yes.''
  Rollcall No. 450--H. Res. 418, Recognizing and welcoming the 
delegation of Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Foreign Ministers from 
the Caribbean to Washington, DC, and commending the Caribbean Community 
(CARICOM) for holding the Conference on the Caribbean--I would have 
voted ``yes.''
