                      Tuesday, September 25, 2007

  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Madam Speaker, unfortunately last night, 
September 24, 2007, I was unable to cast my votes on H. Con. Res. 193, 
H. Res. 668, H.R. 1199, and H. Res. 340 and wish the record to reflect 
my intentions had I been able to vote.
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 891 on suspending the rules and 
passing H. Con. Res. 193, recognizing all hunters across the United 
States for their continued commitment to safety, I would have voted 
``aye.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 892 on suspending the rules and 
passing H. Res. 668, recognizing the 50th anniversary of the September 
25, 1957, desegregation of Little Rock Central High School by the 
Little Rock Nine, I would have voted ``aye.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 893 on suspending the rules and 
passing H.R. 1199, the Drug Endangered Children Act, I would have voted 
``aye.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 894 on suspending the rules and 
passing H. Res. 340, expressing the sense of the House of 
Representatives of the importance of providing a voice for the many 
victims, and families of victims, involved in missing persons cases and 
unidentified human remains cases, I would have voted ``aye.''
