On the recordMarch 17, 2016
On rollcall No. 127, 128, 129, I was unable to vote, as I was attending a funeral service for a close family friend. Roll No. 127 was ordering the previous question; Roll No. 128 was H. Res. 649, providing for consideration of the resolution H. Res. 639, which authorizes the Speaker to appear as amicus curiae on behalf of the House of Representatives in the matter of U.S., et al. v. Texas, et al., No. 15-674; and Roll No. 129 was agreeing to that resolution, H. Res. 639. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on all three rollcall votes. ____________________
