                        Thursday, April 19, 2012

  Mr. FINCHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to discuss how I would have 
voted on the amendments and final passage of H.R. 4089, the Sportsmen's 
Heritage Act of 2012.
  If I had I been here to vote I would have voted in the following way:
  Holt (NJ): I would have voted ``no.''
  Grijalva (AZ): I would have voted ``no.''
  Peters (MI): I would have voted ``no.''
  Heinrich (NM): I would have voted ``no.''
  Foxx (NC): I would have voted ``yes.''
  Democrat Motion to Recommit: I would have voted ``no.''
  Final Passage: I would have voted ``yes.''
  As an avid hunter, a lifetime member of the National Rifle 
Association, and a member of the Congressional Sportsman's caucus I 
understand the value of sportsmen's rights and cherish the opportunity 
to pass on my love for hunting to my children.
