  Mr. WESTMORELAND. Madam Speaker, on May 4, 2009 I stayed at home due 
to an ongoing medical condition. As a result, I missed two votes. Had I 
been present, I would have voted the following:
  ``Yea'' on Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass H. Res 230, a bill 
Recognizing the historical significance of the Mexican holiday of Cinco 
de Mayo (Rollcall No. 229); and
  ``Yea'' on Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass H. Con. Res 111, a 
bill Recognizing the 61st anniversary of the Independence of the State 
of Israel (Rollcall No. 230).
