On the recordJune 19, 2006

On the evening of June 19, 2006, I was unavoidably detained and missed the rollcall votes for the following measures: H.R. 5540, the Sergeant Jacob Dan Dones Post Office Designation Act, H.R. 5504, the Larry Winn, Jr. Post Office Building Designation Act and H. Res. 826, Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that a National Youth Sports Week should be established. My flight from Cleveland was rerouted to Dulles Airport due to thunderstorms in the Washington area. Had I been present for those votes I would have voted ``yea'' on H.R. 5540, ``yea'' on H.R. 5504, and ``yea'' on H. Res. 826. ____________________
