                        Wednesday, May 22, 2013

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 164, I was unavoidably 
detained off of the House floor at a doctor's appointment. Therefore, I 
was unable to cast my vote on H.R. 1412, the Improving Job 
Opportunities for Veterans Act of 2013.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes''.
  Also on rollcall No. 165, I was unable to cast my vote on H.R. 1344, 
the Helping Heroes Fly Act.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes.''
  And on rollcall No. 166, I was unable to cast my vote on H.R. 3234, 
the bill to grant the Congressional Gold Medal, collectively, to the 
First Special Service Force, in recognition of its superior service 
during World War II, as amended.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes.''
