                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 14, 2011

  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained addressing 
matters related to a historic snow storm in Connecticut and so I missed 
rollcall vote No. 816 regarding H. Con. Res. 13, ``Reaffirming `In God 
We Trust' as the official motto of the United States and supporting and 
encouraging the public display of the national motto in all public 
buildings, public schools, and other government institutions.'' Had I 
been present, I would have voted ``yes''.
