                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 31, 2017

  Mr. RUSH. Mr. Speaker, on January 3 to January 6, January 9 to 
January 10, and on January 13, 2017, circumstances beyond my control 
necessitated my absence from the House and I, therefore, missed votes. 
I expect my absence to continue through February 3, 2017 and therefore 
am requesting a leave of absence from the House.
