                     Wednesday, September 17, 2008

  Mr. POE. Madam Speaker, due to preparations for and recovery from 
Hurricane Ike, which impacted my district, I unfortunately missed the 
following votes on the House floor on Thursday, September 11th and 
Monday, September 15th.
  I ask that the Record reflect that had I been able to vote that day, 
I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall Nos. 586, 587, 589, 590, and 
591.
