  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Madam Speaker, on March 30, 2009, I was 
unable to cast my votes on the Motion to Table H. Res. 295, H.R. 20, 
and H.R. 479 and wish the record to reflect my intentions had I been 
able to vote.
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 163, on the Motion to Table H. 
Res. 295, Raising a question of the privileges of the House, I would 
have voted ``nay.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 164, on suspending the Rules and 
passing H.R. 20, the Melanie Blocker Stokes MOTHERS Act, I would have 
voted ``yea.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 165, on suspending the Rules and 
passing H.R. 479, the Wakefield Act, I would have voted ``yea.''
