  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Madam Speaker, unfortunately yesterday, 
October 29, 2007, I was unable to cast my votes on H.R. 3224, H. Res. 
573, and H. Res. 747 and wish the Record to reflect my intentions had I 
been able to vote.
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 1010 on suspending the rules and 
passing H.R. 3224, the Dam Rehabilitation and Repair Act of 2007, I 
would have voted ``yea.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 1011 on suspending the rules and 
passing H. Res. 573, Recognizing and commending the efforts of the 
United States public and advocacy groups to raise awareness about and 
help end the worsening humanitarian crisis and genocide in Darfur, 
Sudan, and for other purposes, I would have voted ``yea.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 1012 on suspending the rules and 
passing H. Res. 747, Recognizing the religious and historical 
significance of the festival of Diwali, I would have voted ``yea.''
