                        Wednesday, May 16, 2007

  Mr. CRENSHAW. Madam Speaker, on Monday, May 14, 2007, I was unable to 
cast several votes because I was meeting with Forest Service and fire 
fighting personnel to assess the hazardous situation and current 
evacuation of several areas in the Fourth Congressional District 
threatened by wildfires.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall 342, the 
D.C. Tuition Assistance Grant Program Reauthorization; ``yea'' on 
rollcall 343, Supporting National Day of Remembrance for Murder 
Victims; and ``yea'' on rollcall 344, Recognizing National AmeriCorps 
Week.
