  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Madam Speaker, unfortunately yesterday, June 
11, 2007, I was unable to cast my votes on the following bills.
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 448 on the motion to suspend the 
rules and pass H.R. 2356, to encourage the display of the flag of the 
United States on Father's Day, I would have voted ``aye.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 449 on the motion to suspend the 
rules and pass 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 ``aye.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 450 on the motion to suspend the 
rules and pass 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 ``aye.''
