On the recordApril 16, 2012
On Monday, April 16, 2012 I had a previously scheduled meeting with constituents in Ogden, Illinois. As a result, I am unable to attend votes this evening. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on H.R. 3001, the Raoul Wallenberg Centennial Celebration Act; and ``yea'' on H.R. 4040, to provide for the award of a gold medal on behalf of Congress to Jack Nicklaus in recognition of his service to the Nation in promoting excellence and good sportsmanship in golf. personal explanation
