  Mr. POE. Madam Speaker, due to preparations for and recovery from 
Hurricane Ike, which impacted my Congressional district, I 
unfortunately missed the following votes on the House floor on 
Thursday, September 11, Monday, September 15, Tuesday, September 16, 
Wednesday, September 17, Thursday, September 18, and Monday, September 
22.
  I ask that the Record reflect that had I been able to vote those 
days, I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall Nos. 586, 587, 589, 590, 
591, 602, 603, 604, 607, 613, 615, 617, and 618, and ``no'' on rollcall 
Nos. 585, 588, 592, 593, 594, 605, 606, 608, 609, 610, 611, 612, 614, 
and 616.
