  Ms. LINDA T. SANCHEZ of California. Unfortunately, I was unable to be 
present in the Capitol on Monday, October 15, 2007, and was unable to 
cast votes on the House floor that evening.
  However, had I been present I would have voted ``aye'' on H. Res. 
738, condemning the campaign of murder, terror and intimidation aimed 
at overthrowing the democratically elected Government of Lebanon; 
``aye'' on H.R. 2089, a bill to designate the facility of the United 
States Postal Service in New Orleans, LA as the ``Louisiana Armed 
Services Veterans Post Office''; and ``aye'' on H.R. 20, the Melanie 
Blocker-Stokes Postpartum Depression Research and Care Act.
