  Mr. COLE of Oklahoma. Madam Speaker, on Wednesday, April 30, 2008, I 
missed the first vote in a series of two votes. I missed rollcall votes

  Had I been present and voting, I would have voted as follows: 
Rollcall vote No. 230: ``aye'' (on agreeing to the Miller, George 
amendment to H.R. 5522); rollcall vote No. 231: ``aye'' (on agreeing to 
the Wilson (SC) amendment to H.R. 5522); rollcall vote No. 232: ``aye'' 
(on motion to recommit H.R. 5522 with instructions); rollcall vote No. 
233: ``no'' (on final passage of H.R. 5522).
