  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, on the afternoon of Thursday, 
October 15, 2009, I was unfortunately unable to be present for the last 
two series of recorded votes while I was attending to a matter related 
to my personal health.

  I request that the Record show that had I been present, I would have 
voted ``yes'' on rollcall vote No. 786 (on ordering the previous 
question on the rule for H.R. 2442, H. Res. 830), ``yes'' on rollcall 
vote No. 787 (on agreeing to the resolution H. Res. 830, the rule 
providing for consideration of H.R. 2442), ``yes'' on rollcall vote No. 
788 (the motion to table the appeal of the ruling of the chair), and 
``yes'' on rollcall vote No. 789 (on passage of the bill H.R. 2442, the 
Bay Area Regional Water Recycling Program Expansion Act of 2009).
