                        Tuesday, March 18, 2014

  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably absent in the House 
chamber for votes on Tuesday, March 10, 2014.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote 115, 
``yea'' on rollcall vote 116, and ``yea'' on rollcall vote 117.
  Due to a last minute meeting at the White House with President Obama 
on Thursday, March 13, 2014, to discuss the devastating impact of 
deportations on the immigrant community, I was absent for the following 
votes. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote 
130, ``yea'' on rollcall vote 131, ``nay'' on rollcall vote 132, and 
``nay'' on rollcall vote 133.
