  Ms. RICHARDSON. Madam Speaker, on Tuesday, September 29, 2009, I was 
unavoidably detained and thus missed rollcall vote No. 740.
  Had I been present I would have voted as follows: On rollcall No. 
740, Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass H.R. 905, as amended, 
``Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and Underwater Preserve 
Boundary Modification Act of 2009,'' I would have voted ``aye.''
