  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I was not present in the House chamber 
for votes on April 3, 2008.
  If I had been present, I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall No. 
159, a motion to recommit H.R. 4847, the United States Fire 
Administration Reauthorization Act, with instructions to amend the bill 
(forthwith) to provide liability protection to firemen that provide 
inspection services or advice on the use of child safety seats to their 
communities.
  I would also have voted ``yes'' on rollcall No. 160, final passage of 
H.R. 4847, the United States Fire Administration Reauthorization Act.
