  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I would like to state for the record my 
position on the following votes I missed due to personal reasons.
  On Monday, September 22, 2008, I missed rollcall votes 616, 617, and 
618. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall votes 
616 and 617 and ``aye'' on rollcall vote 618.
