  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained during the vote 
series that occurred on December 5, 2016, due to flight delays 
resulting from inclement weather. Had I been present, I would have 
voted ``Yes'' on the three measures under consideration: H.R. 6427, the 
Creating Financial Prosperity for Businesses and Investors Act; H.R. 
5015, the Combat-Injured Veterans Tax Fairness Act of 2016; and the 
House Amendment to S. 1635, the Department of State Authorities Act, 
Fiscal Year 2017, as amended.
