  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 Tuesday, February 26, 2008 I missed rollcall votes 72, 73, 74, 75, 
76, and 77. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall 
votes 72, 73, 74, 76 and 77, and ``aye'' on 75.

                          ____________________
