  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Speaker, had I been present for the vote today on 
S. 534, Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport 
Authorization Act (Roll Call No. 45), I would have voted aye. This bill 
would require authorization to interact with minor amateur athletes to 
report any suspected incidents of child abuse, including sexual abuse, 
to the sport's governing body.
  Additionally, had I been present for the vote on H.R. 1457 (Roll Call 
No. 682), I would have voted aye. This bill would allow banks and other 
financial institutions nationwide to use an individual's state-issued 
driver's license or personal identification card to verify the 
individual's identity when using a mobile device to initiate mobile 
banking or other online service.
