                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 14, 2016

  Mr. HIMES. Mr. Speaker, on July 13, 2016, I was unable to be present 
to cast my vote on amendments Number 76 and Number 78 to H.R. 5538, the 
Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 2017. I wish to reflect that had I been present for 
roll calls No. 453 and 454, I would have voted ``nay.''
