  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, on Monday, November 2, 2009, 
I was unable to be present for the last two series of recorded votes. 
Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote No. 832 
(on passage of the bill H.R. 1168, as amended), ``yea'' on rollcall 
vote No. 833 (on agreeing to the resolution H. Res. 291), and ``yea'' 
on rollcall vote No. 834 (on passage of the bill S. 509).
