  Mrs. NAPOLITANO. Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, March 19, 2009, I was 
absent during rollcall vote No. 143 in order to attend an event with 
the President in my district. Had I been present, I would have voted 
``yea'' on the motion to suspend the rules and pass H.R. 1586--
Additional tax on bonuses received from certain TARP recipients. We 
must protect taxpayers' money and ensure TARP funds are not being 
abused by executives. Executives of TARP funded companies should not 
receive bonuses for the work they have done that has caused us to 
arrive at our current economic situation.
