During the votes today I was inescapably detained and away handling important matters related to my District and the State of Alabama. If I had been present, I would have voted: ``no'' on H. Res. 315; ``no'' on the Schiff/Smith (WA) Amendment to H.R. 2596; ``yes'' on the Democratic Motion to Recommit H.R. 2596; and ``no'' on final passage of H.R. 2596. ____________________
