  Mr. COHEN. Madam Speaker, I was in the Chamber when votes were cast 
on H.R. 3524, the HOPE VI Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2007. 
I listened to the debate, voted on all the amendments and the Motion to 
Recommit. However, due to circumstances beyond my control, I was unable 
to cast a vote of ``aye'' on the final passage of H.R. 3524.
