                        Wednesday, July 9, 2008

  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Madam Speaker, unfortunately last night, 
July 8, 2008, due to my plane being delayed by over an hour and a half 
due to mechanical issues, I was unable to cast my votes on H.R. 3981, 
H.R. 1423, and H.R. 4199.
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 471, on suspending the rules and 
passing H.R. 3981, the Preserve America and Save America's Treasures 
Act, I would have voted ``yea.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 472, on suspending the rules and 
passing H.R. 1423, the Dorothy Buell Memorial Visitor Center Lease Act, 
I would have voted ``yea.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 473, on suspending the rules and 
passing H.R. 4199, to amend the Dayton Aviation Heritage Preservation 
Act of 1992 to add sites to the Dayton Aviation Heritage National 
Historical Park, I would have voted ``yea.''
