On the recordNovember 3, 2015
On the evening of November 3, 2015, I was unavoidably detained and missed rollcall vote 586. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.'' (By unanimous consent, Mr. McCarthy was allowed to speak out of order.) Legislative Program Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Chairman, we are in the middle of a healthy and bipartisan debate on the highway bill. This is an important process, and I am encouraged by the enthusiasm of all Members' participation. I am encouraged, all right. While we rarely schedule votes later than 7 p.m., Members are advised that due to the number of amendments expected to be considered, it is likely we will need to vote late tomorrow evening. Members should be prepared for both late and multiple votes series tomorrow night. Members are further advised to expect a full day on Thursday as we will not leave until the House completes its work for the week.
