  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Madam Speaker, unfortunately last night, May 
12, 2009, I was unable to cast my votes on the Motion to Table the 
Flake Question of Privilege, H. Res. 413 and H. Res. 378 and wish the 
record to reflect my intentions had I been able to vote.
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 243, on the Motion to Table 
Representative Flake's Question of Privilege, I would have voted 
``nay.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 244, on suspending the Rules and 
passing H. Res. 413, Supporting the goals and ideals of ``IEEE 
Engineering the Future'' Day on May 13, 2009, I would have voted 
``yea.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 245, on suspending the Rules and 
passing H. Res. 378, Recognizing the 30th anniversary of the

election of Margaret Thatcher as the first female Prime Minister of 
Great Britain, I would have voted ``yea.''
