                       Wednesday, April 18, 2007

  Ms. McCOLLUM of Minnesota. Madam Speaker, had I been present for the 
votes on H.R. 1677, the Taxpayer Protection Act, and H. Res. 196, 
supporting the goals and ideals of World Water Day, I would have voted 
in the affirmative for both bills. I was unable to vote for H.R. 1677 
and H. Res. 196 because I was in an important meeting with constituents 
from Minnesota.
