                        HON. TIMOTHY V. JOHNSON

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 24, 2008

  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Madam Speaker, unfortunately last night, 
June 23, 2008, I was unable to cast my votes on H. Res. 1242, H. Con. 
Res. 372, and H. Res. 1051, and wish the record to reflect my 
intentions had I been able to vote.
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 438 on suspending the rules and 
passing H. Res. 1242, Honoring the life, musical accomplishments, and 
contributions of Louis Jordan on the 100th anniversary of his birth, I 
would have voted ``aye.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 439 on suspending the rules and 
passing H. Con. Res. 372, Supporting the goals and ideals of Black 
Music Month, I would have voted ``aye.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 440 on suspending the rules and 
passing H. Res. 1051, Congratulating James Madison University in 
Harrisonburg, Virginia, for 100 years of service and leadership to the 
United States, I would have voted ``aye.''
