  Mr. CLEAVER. Madam Speaker, I was unavoidably detained for rollcall 
votes 547 and 548.
  Madam Speaker, had I been present, I would have cast the following 
votes on H.R. 2771: to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2008 
for the Legislative Branch. Madam Speaker, had I been present for the 
motion to recommit with instructions, roll No. 547, I would have voted 
``no.'' On passage roll No. 548, I would have voted ``yes''.
