  Stated for:
  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, March 19, 2012, I 
had a previously scheduled meeting with constituents in Champaign, 
Illinois. As a result, I am unable to attend votes this evening. Had I 
been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on H.R. 3992, to allow 
otherwise eligible Israeli nationals to receive E 2 nonimmigrant visas 
if similarly situated United States nationals are eligible for similar 
nonimmigrant status in Israel.
  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably absent for votes in the 
House chamber today. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on 
rollcall vote 111.
  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, due to district business, I was unavoidably 
back in my Congressional District on March 19, 2012. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yea'' on H.R. 3992, to allow otherwise 
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 
due to prior commitments to my constituents. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``yea.''
  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. 
111, on the motion to suspend the rules and pass H.R. 3992--To allow 
otherwise eligible Israeli nationals to receive E 2 nonimmigrant visas 
if similarly situated United States nationals are eligible for similar 
nonimmigrant status in Israel.
  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 111, had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yea.''
