Jeanne Shaheen said "I was necessarily absent from the Senate earlier today. Along with Senator Ayotte, I was in New Hampshire this morning and afternoon attending memorial services for Officer Steve Arkell of the Brentwood Police Department, who was tragically killed in the line of duty on May 14, 2014. I missed rollcall votes in relation to the confirmation of Stanley Fischer to be a Member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the motion to invoke cloture on the nomination of David Barron to be U.S. circuit judge for the First Circuit. I support both the Fischer and Barron nominations, and would have voted yes if I were present during these votes. ___________________
