  Mrs. LAWRENCE. Madam Speaker, unfortunately, on September 27, 2019, I 
was not able to cast my votes during the vote series due to personal 
matters in Michigan. Had I been in attendance, I would have voted: 
``aye'' on Roll Call No. 555: H. Res. 603--Raising a question of the 
privileges of the House; ``yea'' on Roll Call No. 554: H.R. 3722--the 
Joint Task Force to Combat Opioid Trafficking Act; and ``yea'' on Roll 
Call No. 553: S.J. Res. 54--A joint resolution relating to a national 
emergency declared by the President on February 15, 2019.
