  Mr. BARRETT of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, due to a family 
obligation, I unfortunately missed recorded votes on the House floor in 
the afternoon of Friday, September 7, 2007.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall vote No. 
862 (on agreeing to the Conyers amendment to H.R. 1908), ``no'' on 
rollcall vote No. 863 (on passage of H.R. 1908), and ``no'' on rollcall 
vote No. 864 (on passage of the conference report H. Rept. 110-317 to 
H.R. 2669).
