                            HON. BILL FLORES

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 7, 2017

  Mr. FLORES. Mr. Speaker, I missed roll call vote 653 on the Motion to 
go to Conference on H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, taken on 
December 4, 2017. Had I been present for this vote, I would have voted 
YEA.
  I was not present for this vote due to an emergency illness on Sunday 
and due to a previously scheduled commitment with a large group of 
constituents in Waco, Texas.
  Pro-growth tax reform that provides a simpler, fairer tax code will 
lead to more jobs and bigger paychecks for hardworking American 
families.
