Jacob Dan Dones Post Office Designation, I would have voted ``yea''; had I been present for rollcall vote 290 on H.R. 5504, the Larry Winn, Jr. Post Office Designation, I would have voted ``yea''; and had I been present for H. Res. 826, Expressing the Sense of the House of Representatives that a National Youth Sports Week be Established, I would have voted ``yea''. ____________________
