On the recordJuly 20, 2010
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my apologies for my absence on July 20, 2010, and for missing recorded votes held on this day. I regret that matters in my district required my personal attention and prevented me from being present to cast my vote. Although I was unable to vote, I wish to let my constituents and my colleagues know how I would have voted had I been present. On H. Res. 1491--Congratulating the University of South Carolina Gamecocks on winning the 2010 NCAA Division I College World Series--I would have voted ``aye.'' On H.R. 5604--Surface Transportation Savings Act of 2010--I would have voted ``aye.'' On H. Res. 1516--Recognizing the 65th anniversary of the end of World War II, honoring the service members who fought in World War II and their families, and honoring the service members who are currently serving in combat operations--I would have voted ``aye.'' ____________________
