                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 16, 2007

  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I would like to state for the record my 
position on the following votes I missed due to flooding in my county.
  On Monday, October 15, 2007, I was tending to personal matters and 
thus missed rollcall votes Nos. 961, 962, and 963. Had I been present, 
I would have voted ``aye'' on all votes.
