  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Madam Speaker, on April 29, 2009 I missed rollcall 
vote 223, the final passage of H.R. 1913, the Local Law Enforcement 
Hate Crimes Prevention Act. If I were present for the vote I would have 
voted ``aye.'' I missed the vote because I was in an Intelligence 
Committee hearing.
