                                 ______

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 11, 2011

  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained and so I missed 
rollcall vote No. 502 on Representative Barbara Lee's amendment to the 
2012 Defense Appropriations Act to ``strike $33,000,124,000 from title 
IX and increase the Spending Reduction Account by the same amount'' in 
order to redeploy U.S. armed forces out of Afghanistan by the end of 
2012. Had I been present, I would have voted ``Yes.''
