  Mrs. McCARTHY of New York. Madam Speaker, I am having back surgery, 
which will require me to miss votes the last two weeks of July. I will 
be returning, stronger and better than ever, to do my work for the 4th 
Congressional District of NY when Congress reconvenes in September.
  Yesterday, I missed two votes. Had I been present I would have voted.
  Rollcall No. 593, on Approving the Journal, I would have voted 
``yea.''
  Rollcall No. 594, on the Motion to Suspend the Rules and Agree to H. 
Res. 607, I would have voted ``yea.''
  Rollcall No. 595, on the Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass H.R. 
2245, I would have voted ``yea.''
