Unfortunately this morning, Tuesday, June 29th, I was unable to cast my votes on Approving the Journal, H. Res. 1439, and on the Motion to Adjourn and wish the Record to reflect my intentions had I been able to vote. Last night I was conducting a town hall meeting at the Philo City Hall in Philo, Illinois and was unable to catch an airplane that would get me to Washington, DC in time for the 10:30 a.m. votes. Had I been present on rollcall No. 395 on Approving the Journal, I would have voted ``aye.'' Had I been present on rollcall No. 396 on suspending the rules and passing H. Res. 1439, Congratulating the Chicago Blackhawks on winning the 2010 Stanley Cup Championship, I would have voted ``aye.'' Had I been present of rollcall No. 397 on the Motion to Adjourn, I would have voted ``aye.'' ____________________
