  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Madam Speaker, unfortunately yesterday, 
December 11, 2007, due to my flight being delayed due to mechanical 
issues, I was unable to cast my votes on H. Res. 842, H. Res. 847, and 
H.R. 4343.
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 1142 on suspending the rules and 
passing H. Res. 842, Expressing sympathy to and pledging the support of 
the House of Representatives and the people of the United States for 
victims of Cyclone Sidr in southern Bangladesh, I would have voted 
``aye.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 1143 on suspending the rules and 
passing H. Res. 847, Recognizing the importance of Christmas and the 
Christian faith, I would have voted ``aye.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 1144 on suspending the rules and 
passing H.R. 4343, the Fair Treatment for Experienced Pilots Act, I 
would have voted ``aye.''
