Jerry Moran: “I wish to explain my absence from rollcall votes 230 and 231 on…”

On the recordDecember 16, 2011

I wish to explain my absence from rollcall votes 230 and 231 on Thursday, December 15, 2011. I was unable to vote yesterday because I was back in Atchison, KS, paying my respects to slain police sergeant David Enzbrenner. Officer Enzbrenner was a veteran of the Atchison Police Department but, more important, he was a loving dad and a caring husband. Although I returned to Washington today to continue the important work being done in the Senate, my thoughts and prayers continue to be with Officer Enzbrenner's family and the Atchison community. ____________________
