Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ, Messrs. GUTIERREZ and PETERS changed their
vote from ``yea'' to ``nay.''
Mr. MESSER changed his vote from ``nay'' to ``yea.''
So the motion to go to conference was agreed to.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
Stated for:
Mr. KING of Iowa. Madam Speaker, on rollcall No. 102, had I been
present, I would have voted ``yes.''
Stated against:
Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, on rollcall No. 102, had I
been present, I would have voted ``no.''
Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Madam Speaker, on rollcall No. 102, the
motion to go to conference on H.R. 240, I was not present becrause I
was unavoidably detained at the Army Corps Civil Works Review Board for
the Port Everglades expansion project, which is important to the South
Florida economy. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay.''
Mr. PAYNE. Madam Speaker, on rollcall No. 102 I would have voted
``no'' on sending to conference. Had I been present, I would have voted
``no.''
Mr. KEATING. Madam Speaker, on February 27, 2015 Mr. Speaker, had I
been present for the vote on the Motion to go to Conference on H.R.
240, I would have voted ``no.''
I would like the record to reflect how I would have voted if I were
present:
On rollcall No. 102, I would have voted ``no.'' I remain strongly
disappointed that Republican leadership has not brought a clean, long-
term bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security to the floor. It
is time to adequately fund DHS operations and personnel and stop
playing games with our national security.
