announce that we had a healthy, beautiful baby girl named Molly Hannah.
  Had I been present I would have voted: ``yea'' on rollcall No. 14; 
``nay'' on rollcall No. 15; ``yea'' on rollcall No. 16 in support of 
H.R. 2, the bill to extend and improve the Children's Health Insurance 
Program, of which I was proud to be an original cosponsor; ``yea'' on 
rollcall No. 17, which allowed the House to proceed with a bill 
improving the TARP program; and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 18.
