  Mr. HINOJOSA. Madam Speaker, I regret that I had an event in Texas 
that could not be rescheduled on Saturday, August 4, 2007. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall Nos. 825, 829, 832, 
833, 835, 836, 837, and 846. In addition I would have voted ``no'' on 
rollcall Nos. 824, 827, 828, 830, 831, 834, 838, 839, 840, 841, 842, 
843, 844, and 845, but was also unavoidably detained.
