  Mrs. McMORRIS RODGERS. Madam Speaker, on February 4, 2009, due to 
attendance at the Spokane Ag Expo Forum I was unable to return in time 
and missed three votes.
  Had I been present I would have voted ``yes'' on H. Res. 82 raising 
awareness and encouraging prevention of stalking by establishing 
January 2009 as National Stalking Awareness Month, ``yes'' on H. Res 
103 supporting the goals and ideals of National Teen Dating Violence 
Awareness and Prevention Week, and ``yes'' on H.R. 559, the Fair, 
Accurate, Secure, and Timely Redress Act (vote numbers 47, 48, 49).
