  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Madam Speaker, unfortunately yesterday, 
November 13, 2007, I was unable to cast my votes on H.R. 3315, H.R. 
1593, H.R. 3403, and H.R. 3461 and wish the Record to reflect my 
intentions had I been able to vote.
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 1082 on the motion to suspend the 
rules and pass H.R. 3315, to provide that the great hall of the Capitol 
Visitor Center shall be known as Emancipation Hall, I would have voted 
``aye.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 1083 on the motion to suspend the 
rules and pass H.R. 1593, the Second Chance Act of 2007, I would have 
voted ``aye.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 1084 on the motion to suspend the 
rules and pass H.R. 3403, 911 Modernization and Public Safety Act of 
2007, I would have voted ``aye.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 1085 on the motion to suspend the 
rules and pass H.R. 3461, Safeguarding America's Families by Enhancing 
and Reorganizing New and Efficient Technologies Act of 2007, I would
