                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 9, 2016

  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I 
inadvertently voted ``nay'' on Roll Call No. 279, on Representative 
Polis' amendment to H.R. 4775 that would adopt the text of H.R. 1548, 
the BREATHE Act, which would amend the Clean Air Act to repeal the 
prohibitions against aggregating emissions from oil and gas sources. As 
an original cosponsor of H.R. 1548 and a strong supporter of policies 
to protect the public and our environment from the dangers of Hydraulic 
Fracturing, or fracking, I duly intended to vote ``yea'' on this 
amendment and appreciate this opportunity to note my support.

                          ____________________
