                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 23, 2015

  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, April 23, 
2015, I was attending an event with Vice President Biden to raise 
awareness and help prevent campus sexual assault. This event was part 
of the ``It's On Us'' campaign and was held on the campus of the 
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign located in the 13th 
Congressional District which I am proud to represent.
  As the father of a daughter who will be a college freshman next year, 
this issue is very personal to me. I am so proud of the students and 
faculty at the University of Illinois, as well as other campuses across 
the country, for stepping up and taking a stand against sexual assault.
  Due to my participation in this important event with Vice President 
Biden and my constituents, I was unable to cast votes in the House on 
April 23, 2015.
