  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, December 13, 2011, 
I was detained in a meeting and was unable to be present for a vote in 
a series of recorded votes. I request the record show that had I been 
present, I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall vote No. 917 (on the 
question of consideration of H. Res. 491).
