  Mr. CONYERS. Madam Speaker, I took a leave of absence on June 18, 
2007, as I was attending to personal business. The following list 
describes how I would have voted had I been in attendance today.
  ``Aye''--H. Con. Res. 21, calling on the United Nations Security 
Council to charge Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with violating 
the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of 
Genocide and the United Nations Charter because of his calls for the 
destruction of the State of Israel.
  ``Aye''--H. Con. Res. 151, noting the disturbing pattern of killings 
of dozens of independent journalists in Russia over the last decade, 
and calling on Russian President Vladimir Putin to authorize 
cooperation with outside investigators in solving those murders.
  ``Aye''--H. Res. 233, recognizing over 200 years of sovereignty of 
the Principality of Liechtenstein, and expressing support for efforts 
by the United States to continue to strengthen its relationship with 
that country.
