                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. GERALD E. CONNOLLY

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 16, 2009

  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Madam Speaker, after making three hundred 
thirty-nine straight recorded votes, I missed my first vote on the 
floor of the House of Representatives today as I attended the high 
school graduation of my daughter, Caitlin Rose Connolly.
  While I take my responsibilities as a member of Congress seriously 
and make an effort to ensure my constituents are represented on every 
vote, nothing would have kept me from witnessing my daughter's 
graduation.
  I would like to take this time to congratulate my daughter, Caitlin 
Rose Connolly, all of the graduating seniors at W.T. Woodson High 
School, and all other graduates in the class of 2009. Completing high 
school is a tremendous

achievement. I am certain that the parents, family, friends and 
teachers of all of the graduates are as proud of their students as I am 
of Caitlin.
  I would also like to take this moment to indicate how I would have 
voted on those votes that I missed.
  On H.R. 2470, to designate the facility of the United States Postal 
Service located at 19190 Cochran Boulevard FRNT in Port Charlotte, 
Florida, as the ``Lieutenant Commander Roy H. Boehm Post Office 
Building,'' I would have voted, ``aye.''
  On H.R. 780, the Student Internet Safety Act of 2009, I would have 
voted, ``aye.''
  On the Motion to Table the Appeal of the Ruling of the Chair, I would 
have voted, ``aye.''
  On H.R. 2247, the Congressional Review Improvement Act, I would have 
voted, ``aye.''
  On H.R. 403, the Homes for Heroes Act of 2009, I would have voted, 
``aye.''
