The SPEAKER pro tempore (during the vote). There are 2 minutes
remaining.
{time} 1300
Ms. WATERS changed her vote from ``nay'' to ``yea.''
So the motion to instruct was agreed to.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
Stated for:
Mr. FILNER. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall 293, I was away from the Capitol
due to prior commitments to my constituents. Had I been present, I
would have voted ``yea.''
[[Page H3147]]
Personal Explanation
Mr. BRALEY of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I regret missing floor votes on
Friday, May 18, 2012 due to a visit to a wounded Iowa warrior at Walter
Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD.
Personal Explanation
Mr. PASCRELL. Mr. Speaker, on May 18, 2012, I missed several rollcall
votes due to a longstanding commitment to give the commencement address
at Passaic County Community College, in my district.
Had I been present I would have voted:
``Aye''--Smith (WA)/Amash Amendment (No. 46)--Eliminates indefinite
military detention of any person detained under AUMF authority in US,
territories or possessions by providing immediate transfer to trial and
proceedings by a court established under Article III of the
Constitution of the United States or by an appropriate State court.
``Nay''--Gohmert Amendment (No. 45)-- Clarifies that the FY 2012
National Defense Authorization Act and the 2001 Authorization for Use
of Military Force (UAMF) do not deny the writ of habeas corpus or deny
any Constitutional rights for persons detained in the United States
under the AUMF who are entitled to such rights.
``Nay''--Coffman Amendment (No. 17)--Repeals the moratorium on A 76
procedures, which prohibits the outsourcing of U.S. military jobs to
private contractors.
``Aye''--Keating Amendment (No. 18)--Freezes the transfer, reduction
or elimination of Air National Guard units supporting an Air and Space
Operations Center or an Air Force Forces Staff until the impact of the
unit's loss and alternative plans to support the augmented Air Force
missions are provided to.
``Aye''--Broun Amendment (No. 19)--Eliminates the maximum age
limitation for individuals seeking to enlist in the U.S. military,
provided they meet all of the other current qualifications for
enlistment.
``Aye''--Carson Amendment (No. 20)--Prohibits military promotion
boards from considering any information from official documents, word
of mouth, or in writing on the pursuit of treatment or counseling for
mental health or addiction issues, unless the service member is found
unfit for duty or a danger to themselves or others. Would require the
information on this prohibition to be promulgated to current service
members.
``Aye''--Cummings Amendment (No. 26)--Expands the mortgage
protections under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) to include
servicemembers serving in a contingency operation, surviving spouses of
servicemembers whose deaths are service-connected, and veterans who are
totally disabled at the time of discharge. The amendment also repeals
the sunset provision that is set to expire at the end of this year and
increases fines for violations of the SCRA.
``Nay''--Sablan Amendment (No. 29)--Includes the Northern Mariana
Islands as an eligible location, in addition to the United States and
Guam, for the overhaul, repair and maintenance of naval vessels and
other vessels under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Navy.
``Aye''--Johnson (GA) Amendment (No. 30)--Includes a finding stating
that the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons to South Korea would
destabilize the Western Pacific region and would not be in the national
security interests of the United States.
``Aye''--Johnson (GA) Amendment (No. 31)--Requires the Secretary of
Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs to report to Congress
regarding whether nuclear weapons reductions pursuant to the New START
Treaty are in the national security interests of the United States.
``Nay''--Price (GA) Amendment (No. 32)--Prohibits the President from
making unilateral reductions to U.S. nuclear forces.
``Nay''--Rigell Amendment (No. 38)--Replaces the pending sequester of
discretionary spending for FY 2013 and replaces it by reducing the
discretionary spending limit for that year so that it conforms with the
Republican/Ryan budget levels deemed in force in the House, but this
replacement is contingent upon the enactment of spending reductions
over five years of at least the amount of the sequester it supplants.
Also requires a detailed report on the impact of the sequestration of
funds authorized and appropriated for FY 2013 for the Department of
Defense.
``Aye''--Lee Amendment (No. 42)--Limits Defense funding to the amount
consistent with the Budget Control act. The resulting $8 billion
reduction in the underlying bill's authorization would come from
programs selected by the President in consultation with the Defense
Secretary, with military pay and health care exempt.
``Nay''--Duncan amendment (No. 47)--Limits funds authorized to be
appropriated by this Act to any institution or organization established
by the Convention on the Law of the Sea, including the International
Seabed Authority, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea,
and the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf.
``Aye''--Coffman Amendment (No. 48)--Authorizes the President to
remove all Brigade Combat Teams that are permanently stationed in
Europe and replace them with a rotational force.
``Nay''--Lee Amendment (No. 49)--Appoints a Special Envoy for Iran to
ensure that all diplomatic avenues are pursued to avoid a war with Iran
and to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
``Nay''--Franks Amendment (No. 54)--Limits the availability of funds
for nuclear nonproliferation activities with the Russian Federation
until Russia is no longer providing support to the government of
Syria's suppression of the Syrian people or transferring to Iran, North
Korea or Syria equipment and technology that could be used to make
weapons of mass destruction.
``Nay''--Pearce Amendment (No. 55)--Strikes provisions in the bill
that authorize $150 million for DOE to support the U.S. Enrichment
Corporation (USEC) development of domestic uranium enrichment capacity.
``Nay''--Rehberg Amendment (No. 59)--Bans any reductions to the
strategic nuclear triad unless the Secretary of Defense certifies that:
1) further reductions in the Russia Federation's arsenal are needed for
compliance with New START limits; and 2) Russia is not developing or
deploying nuclear delivery systems not covered by New START limits.
Would also protect all three legs of the nuclear triad from
elimination.
``Aye''--Price Amendment (No. 111)--Requires the Department of
Justice to order an investigation into the possible violation of U.S.
law regarding numerous leaks of sensitive information involving U.S.
and Israeli military, intelligence, and operational capabilities. Would
provide the Administration with 30 days after bill becomes law to begin
its investigation and 60 days after enactment to report to Congress.

``Nay''--Final Passage of H.R. 4310--National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2013.
