On the recordJune 13, 2011
I was unable to cast my votes this evening. Had I been present to cast my votes, I would have voted ``yes'' on the amendment offered by Mr. LaTourette and ``yes'' on the amendment offered by Mr. Sherman. I would have voted ``no'' on the amendment offered by Mr. Amash, and finally I would have voted ``yes'' on retaining title II, the Department of Veterans Affairs. personal explanation
