  Mr. PASCRELL. Madam Speaker, I want to state for the record that 
today, April 2nd, I was returning from my district after attending the 
funeral of my mother Roffie Pascrell, who recently passed away at the 
age of 95, and I therefore missed the first 5 roll call votes of the 
day.
  Had I been present I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote #183 
On Agreeing to the Resolution Providing for the adjournment of the 
House and Senate--H. Con. Res. 93.
  Had I been present I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote #184 
On Agreeing to the Resolution Providing for consideration of H. Con. 
Res. 85--H. Res. 316.
  Had I been present I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall vote #185 
On Agreeing to the Amendment--Buyer of Indiana Substitute Amendment to 
H.R. 1256.
  Had I been present I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall vote #186 
On Motion to Recommit with Instructions the Family Smoking Prevention 
and Tobacco Control Act--H.R. 1256.
  Lastly, had I been present I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall
