On Friday, November 30, 2012, I was unable to cast my vote on rollcall vote 612, H.R. 6429, the STEM Jobs Act of 2012 and the Motion to Recommit 613, the STEM Jobs Act of 2012. Had I been present, I would like the Record to reflect that I would have voted in opposition of rollcall vote 612 and I would have voted in favor of the Motion to Recommit 613. I oppose H.R. 6429 because it eliminates the long-standing Diversity Visa program and prevents unused STEM green cards from being reused as another visa. personal explanation
