  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Madam Speaker, unfortunately yesterday, 
April 23, 2007, I was unable to cast my votes on H. Res. 179, H.R. 
1434, and H.R. 1402 and wish the record to reflect my intentions had I 
been able to vote. Had I been present for rollcall No. 245 on the 
motion to suspend the rules and agree to H. Res. 179, expressing 
support for a National Foster Parents Day, I would have voted ``aye''; 
had I been present for rollcall No. 246 on the motion to suspend the 
rules and pass H.R. 1434, designating the facility of the United States 
Postal Service located at 896 Pittsburgh Street in Springdale, 
Pennsylvania, as the Rachel Carson Post Office Building, I would have 
voted ``aye.''; had I been present for rollcall No. 247 on the motion 
to suspend the rules and pass H.R. 1402, designating the facility of 
the United States Postal Service located at 320 South Lecanto Highway 
in Lecanto, Florida, as the Sergeant Dennis J. Flanagan Lecanto Post 
Office Building, I would have voted ``aye.''
