  Mr. PASCRELL. Madam Speaker, on March 30th, I was detained in my 
district and therefore missed the three rollcall votes of the day. Had 
I been present I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote No. 163 on 
the Motion to Table the Privileged Resolution. Had I been present I 
would have also voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote No. 164 on the Motion to 
Suspend the Rules and Pass H.R. 20--Melanie Blocker Stokes Mom's 
Opportunity to Access Health, Education, Research, and Support for 
Postpartum Depression Act. Lastly, had I been present I would have 
voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote No. 165 on the Motion to Suspend the 
Rules and Pass H.R. 479--Wakefield Act.
