                       Monday, September 24, 2007

  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam Speaker, I am writing regarding today's rollcall 
votes 865, H. Res. 257, supporting the goals and ideals of Pancreatic 
Cancer Awareness Month, and 866, H. Res. 643, recognizing September 11 
as a day of remembrance, extending sympathies to those who lost their 
lives on September 11, 2001, and their families, honoring the heroic 
actions of our Nation's first responders and Armed Forces, and 
reaffirming the commitment to defending the people of the United States 
against any and all future challenges.
  Please accept my apologies as I was meeting with constituents in my 
district and was not able to cast my votes tonight. It was my intention 
to vote ``yes'' on both resolutions.

                          ____________________
