  Mr. McDERMOTT. Madam Speaker, due to a death in my family I needed to 
depart Washington, DC, last week and missed several votes on February 
8, 2007.
  Had I been here, I would have voted ``aye'' on: rollcall vote 87, the 
Hastings of Florida amendment; rollcall vote 88, the Rogers (MI) 
amendment; rollcall vote 89, the Weller amendment; rollcall vote 90, 
the Cantor amendment; and rollcall vote 92, final passage of H.R. 547.
  I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall vote 91, the Motion to 
Recommit.
