                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN SULLIVAN

                              of oklahoma

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 14, 2011

  Mr. SULLIVAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to state for the record that I 
intended to vote ``aye'' on rollcall vote 414 to H.R. 2055 taken on 
June 13, 2011. The Congressional Record currently lists me as a ``nay'' 
vote on this measure. I firmly support the prohibition on Davis-Bacon 
prevailing wage requirements for construction projects funded by the 
Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act because 
this dated policy inflates the cost of construction and restricts 
competition that could save taxpayers billions.
