                           HON. JOHN SULLIVAN

                              of oklahoma

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 25, 2009

  Mr. SULLIVAN. Madam Speaker, I rise to state for the record that I 
intended to vote ``nay'' on rollcall vote 140 to H.R. 1388 taken on 
March 18, 2009. The Congressional Record currently lists me as an 
``aye'' vote on this measure. As a conservative, I cannot support the 
federal government paying individuals to volunteer their time, 
especially in a period of record federal deficits and budget 
constraints facing American families.
