                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. GEORGE MILLER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, January 2, 2013

  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, on January 1, 2013, I 
was unavoidably detained and missed rollcall No. 655. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``nay.'' While I support freezing pay for 
members of Congress, that was achieved by passage of H.R. 8, and I do 
not believe that it is appropriate to freeze pay for Federal employees 
for another year, given the sacrifices that they have already made.
