4. Relevant Information:
      This data set includes votes for each of the U.S. House of
      Representatives Congressmen on the 16 key votes identified by the
      CQA.  The CQA lists nine different types of votes: voted for, paired
      for, and announced for (these three simplified to yea), voted
      against, paired against, and announced against (these three
      simplified to nay), voted present, voted present to avoid conflict
      of interest, and did not vote or otherwise make a position known
      (these three simplified to an unknown disposition).
