On the recordJune 8, 2012
On Thursday, June 8th, 2012, I missed rollcall votes 371 378 for unavoidable reasons. Specifically, I was in Palm Harbor, Florida, in my congressional district, to attend my son's high school graduation. Had I been present, I would have voted as follows: rollcall No. 371: ``yea'' (Gosar of Arizona Amendment), rollcall No. 372: ``yea'' (Broun of Georgia Amendment), rollcall No. 373: ``yea'' (Scalise of Louisiana Amendment), rollcall No. 374: ``nay'' (Moran of Virginia Amendment), rollcall No. 375: ``nay'' (Flake of Arizona Amendment), rollcall No. 376: ``nay'' (On motion to recommit H.R. 5882 with instructions), rollcall No. 377: ``yea'' (Passage of H.R. 5882--Legislative Branch Appropriations Act for FY 2013), rollcall No. 378: ``nay'' (On Broun of Georgia motion to instruct conferees). ____________________
