  Ms. BORDALLO. Madam Speaker, I was absent from the chamber today, 
Thursday, March 13, 2008, due to the travel schedule for my return to 
my district on account of official business. Had I been present for the 
three rollcall votes taken today in the Committee of the Whole House on 
the State of the Union on the amendments that were offered in the 
nature of a substitute to House Concurrent Resolution 312, the 
Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2009, I would have 
voted as follows: ``aye'' on the amendment offered by Ms. Kilpatrick of 
Michigan and Mr. Scott of Virginia (rollcall vote 137); ``no'' on the 
amendment offered by Ms. Lee of California (rollcall vote 138); and 
``no'' on the amendment offered by Mr. Ryan of Wisconsin (rollcall vote 
140).
