                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. PATRICK J. KENNEDY

                            of rhode island

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 2, 2009

  Mr. KENNEDY. Madam Speaker, I regret that I was unable to participate 
in a series of votes on the floor of the House of Representatives 
today.
  Had I been present to vote on rollcall No. 180, a Bean (IL)/McMahon 
(NY) Amendment to H.R. 1664, a bill to amend the executive compensation 
provisions of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, I would 
have voted ``nay'' on the question.
  Had I been present to vote on rollcall No. 181, a Dahlkemper (PA) 
Amendment to H.R. 1664, I would have voted ``aye'' on the question.
  Had I been present to vote on rollcall No. 182, final passage of H.R. 
1664, I would have voted ``aye'' on the question.

                          ____________________
