  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Madam Speaker, on June 17, 2008, I was 
unable to cast my votes on H.R. 2964, H.R. 3702, and H. Res. 1275, and 
wish the record to reflect my intentions had I been able to vote.
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 414 on suspending the rules and 
passing H.R. 2964, the Captive Primate Safety Act, I would have voted 
``aye.''

``aye.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 416 on suspending the rules and 
passing H. Res. 1275, Honoring the life of Timothy John Russert, Jr., 
public servant, political analyst, and author, I would have voted 
``aye.''
