  Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Speaker, I was absent from the Chamber on October 
15, 2009 because I was in my district with Secretary of Transportation 
Ray LaHood reviewing an important community investment. On rollcall 
Nos. 780, 781, 782, 783, 784, 785, 786, 787, 788, and 789, had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yea,'' and ``no'' on 783.
