So (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and
the resolution was agreed to.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
personal explanation
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, March 21; Tuesday,
March 22; and Wednesday, March 23, 2016, I was on medical leave while
recovering from hip replacement surgery and unable to be present for
recorded votes. Had I been present, I would have voted:
``Yes'' on rollcall vote No. 130 (on the motion to suspend the rules
and pass H.R. 4314, as amended).
``No'' on rollcall vote No. 131 (on ordering the previous question on
H. Res. 653).
``No'' on rollcall vote No. 132 (on agreeing to the resolution H.
Res. 653).
``Yes'' on rollcall vote No. 133 (on the motion to suspend the rules
and pass H.R. 4742).
``Yes'' on rollcal1 vote No. 134 (on the motion to suspend the rules
and pass H.R. 4755).
``Yes'' on rollcall vote No. 135 (on the motion to suspend the rules
and pass H.R. 4336, as amended).
``Yes'' on rollcall vote No. 136 (on the motion to recommit H.R.
2745, with instructions).
``No'' on rollcall vote No. 137 (on passage of H.R. 2745).
``Yes'' on rollcall vote No. 138 (on agreeing to the resolution on H.
Res. 658).
Personal Explanation
Mr. REICHERT. Mr. Speaker, due to an illness I was unable to vote on
the following:
Rollcall No. 130.
Rollcall No. 131.
Rollcall No. 132.
Rollcall No. 133.
Rollcall No. 134.
Rollcall No. 135.
Rollcall No. 137.
Rollcall No. 138.
Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes.''
On rollcall No. 136, had I been present, I would have voted ``no.''
personal explanation
Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Speaker, had I been present for the vote on the
Democratic Motion to Recommit H.R. 2745, which would add protections
for consumers by ensuring that the underlying bill would not apply to
mergers that would unreasonably increase the costs of pharmaceutical
drugs (rollcall No. 136), I would have voted ``aye.''
Had I been present for the vote on the passage of H.R. 2745, the
Standard Merger and Acquisition Reviews Through Equal Rules Act
(rollcall No. 137), I would have voted ``nay.'' This bill would
eliminate important administrative and procedural tools the Federal
Trade Commission (FTC) uses to protect market competition and the
American consumer. Additionally, this bill seems unnecessary,
particularly after the Wall Street Journal dubbed 2015 the ``biggest
year ever for mergers and acquisitions.''
Additionally, had I been present for the vote on H. Res. 658, a
resolution condemning in the strongest terms the terrorist attacks in
Brussels on March 22, 2016, (rollcall No. 138), I would have voted
``aye.'' These attacks signal a painful continuation in our struggle
against terrorism.
