                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 12, 2007

  Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Madam Speaker, on Friday, March 9, 2007, I was absent 
from Rollcall votes 132, 133, 134 and 135 due to official business.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on Rollcall vote 132, 
the rule providing for consideration of H.R. 720, the Water Quality 
Financing Act of 2007.
  On Rollcall 133 for the Baker Amendment to H.R. 720, I would have 
voted ``aye.'' I strongly oppose extending Davis-Bacon requirements for 
construction under H.R. 720.
  On Rollcall vote 134, the motion to recommit H.R. 720, I would have 
voted ``aye.''
  Finally, on Rollcall vote 135, final passage of H.R. 720, I would 
have voted ``nay.''
  I ask that my statement appear in the Congressional Record.
