                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 19, 2012

  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Mr. Speaker on rollcall No. 490 I was 
present for all prior and subsequent votes but was off the floor on 
legislative business and inadvertently missed the vote. I support the 
underlying concept of non-intervention regarding the subject material, 
but also feel the amendment was excessively micromanagerial and did not 
accomplish mine and the sponsor's objectives. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``present.''
