  Ms. MAXINE WATERS of California. Mr. Speaker, due to a medical 
emergency involving another passenger, my flight from Los Angeles, 
California to Washington, D.C. was forced to land mid-flight in Kansas 
City, Missouri. The flight was grounded for an hour before we were able 
to continue on to our final destination. Unfortunately, we were unable 
to make up enough time and I missed the votes on the House Floor 
scheduled for June 20, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. Had I been present, I would 
have voted YES on H.R. 2847, and YES on H.R. 2866.
