                        Wednesday, May 21, 2008

  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Madam Speaker, unfortunately yesterday, May 
20, 2008, due to ground crew delays at Reagan National Airport and 
subsequent delays getting to the terminal, I was unable to cast my vote 
on H.R. 6081 and wish the record to reflect my intentions had I been 
able to vote.
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 331 on suspending the rules and 
passing H.R. 6081, the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act, I 
would have voted ``aye.''
