On the recordAugust 1, 2013
I regret that a meeting at the Whtie House caused me to miss the first vote series on August 1, 2013. Had I been present, my intention was to vote as follows on the amendments to H.R. 1582, the Energy Consumers Relief Act: ``no'' on the Waxman Amendment, ``no'' on the Connolly Amendment, and ``yes'' on the Murphy (PA) Amendment. I would have voted ``no'' on the Motion to Recommit H.R. 1582 and ``yes'' on Passage on H.R. 1582. Further I would have voted ``yes'' on the previous question, ``yes'' on the combined rule for the REINS Act, Keep IRS Off Health Care Act, and the Stop Government Abuse Act. Finally, I would have voted ``yes'' on the passage of H.R. 1897, the Vietnam Human Rights Act. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 9 of House Resolution 322, H.R. 1541, H.R. 2579, and H.R. 2711 are laid on the table. ____________________
