                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 15, 2010

  Mr. TIAHRT. Madam Speaker, on July 14th, I missed three rollcall 
votes numbered 437, 438, 439, 440, and 441 because I was unavoidably 
detained in Kansas.
  Rollcall No. 437 was a vote on the previous question, providing for 
consideration of the bill (H.R. 1722) to improve teleworking in 
executive agencies by developing a telework program that allows 
employees to telework at least 20 percent of the hours worked in every 
2 administrative workweeks, and for other purposes. Had I been present 
I would have voted ``no.''
  Rollcall No. 438 was a vote on H. Res. 1509, providing for 
consideration of the bill (H.R. 1722) to improve teleworking in 
executive agencies by developing a telework program that allows 
employees to telework at least 20 percent of the hours worked in every 
2 administrative workweeks, and for other purposes. Had I been present 
I would have voted ``no.''
  Rollcall No. 439 was a vote on H.R. 2864, to amend the Hydrographic 
Services Improvement Act of 1998 to authorize funds to acquire 
hydrographic data and provide hydrographic services specific to the 
Arctic for safe navigation, delineating the United States extended 
continental shelf, and the monitoring and description of costal 
changes. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye.''
  Rollcall No. 440 was a vote on the motion to recommit with 
instructions H.R. 1722, the Telework Improvements Act. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``aye.''
  Rollcall No. 441 was a vote on H.R. 1722, the Telework Improvement 
Act. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no.''
