  Mr. BONNER. Madam Speaker, on Friday, June 15, 2007, and Monday, June

leaders to recruit significant economic development projects for my 
district and our state and subsequently was absent for 36 votes. Had I 
been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall 491 and ``yea'' on 
rollcall 498.
