                        HON. TIMOTHY V. JOHNSON

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 6, 2007

  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Madam Speaker, unfortunately yesterday, 
November 5, 2007, I was unable to cast my vote on Closing Portions of 
H.R. 3222, H.R. 513, and H. Res. 744 and wish the record to reflect my 
intentions had I been able to vote.
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 1034 on Closing Portions of the 
Conference on H.R. 3222, Making appropriations for the Department of 
Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, and for other 
purposes, I would have voted ``aye.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 1035 on suspending the rules and 
passing H.R. 513, the National Heroes Credit Protection Act, I would 
have voted ``aye.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 1036 on suspending the rules and 
passing H. Res. 744, Recognizing the contributions of Native American 
veterans and calling upon the President to issue a proclamation urging 
the people of the United States to observe a day in honor of Native 
American veterans, I would have voted ``aye.''
