back in my Congressional District on March 19, 2012. Had I been

eligible Israeli nationals to receive E 2 nonimmigrant visas if
similarly situated United States nationals are eligible for similar
nonimmigrant status in Israel.
Mr. FILNER. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall 111, I was away from the Capitol

Mr. PASCRELL. Mr. Speaker, I want to state for the record that on
March 19, 2012, I missed the one rollcall vote of the day.
Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote No.
