On the recordNovember 6, 2017
On Friday, November 3, 2017, I was unavoidably detained attending to representation duties in my district and was not present for rollcall votes 605 and 606. I would like to have reflected in the Record, on rollcall vote 605, I would have voted ``yes'' on the motion to recommit with instructions for H.R. 3922, the Community Health and Medical Professionals Improve Our Nation Act of 2017. On rollcall vote 606, I would have voted ``no'' on the passage of H.R. 3922, the Community Health and Medical Professionals Improve Our Nation Act of 2017. On Friday, November 3, 2017, I was unavoidably detained attending to representation duties and was not present for Roll Call Votes 605 and 606. I ask the record to reflect that had I been present I would have voted as follows: 1. On rollcall 605, I would have voted ``yes.'' (On the Motion to Recommit with Instructions for H.R. 3922, the Community Health and Medical Professionals Improve Our Nation Act of 2017). 2. On Rollcall 606, I would have voted ``no.'' (On Passage of H.R. 3922, the Community Health and Medical Professionals Improve Our Nation Act of 2017). ____________________
