                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 9, 2015

  Mr. MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, on January 6, 2015, I missed recorded votes 
#1-7 as I was attending the funeral of Governor Mario Cuomo in New 
York.
  I would like to reflect how I would have voted if I were here and 
sworn into office:
  On Roll Call #1 I would have voted present (Quorum Call).
  On Roll Call #2 I would have voted for Nancy Pelosi for Speaker.
  On Roll Call #3 I would have voted no (Motion to Table).
  On Roll Call #4 I would have voted no (Previous Question).
  On Roll Call #5 I would have voted yes (Motion to Commit).
  On Roll Call #6 I would have voted no (Passage of House Rules 
Package).
  On Roll Call #7 I would have voted yes (Passage ``Hire More Heroes 
Act of 2015'' H.R. 22).
  I would also like to reflect that I would have voted for the 
Honorable Nancy Pelosi for Democratic Leader.
