                      Wednesday, November 14, 2012

  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, November 13th, 2012 
I had obligations that necessitated my attention in Champaign, Illinois 
and missed the suspension vote on H.R. 6371, Streamlining Claims 
Processing for Federal Contractor Employees Act, which transfers 
authority from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to the 
Department of Labor for processing claims for wages due to laborers and 
mechanics hired by contractors on public works projects.
  Had I been present, I would have voted, ``aye'' on the above stated 
bill.
