                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 1, 2018

  Ms. VELAZQUEZ. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, February 27, 2018, I regret 
not being present for two vote sessions. During both instances, I was 
with my constituents and the meeting extended longer than expected. It 
prevented me from making it to the House floor on time to submit the 
first vote in each series.
  Had I been present, I would have voted in support of the Democratic 
Motion to Recommit H.R. 4296, Roll Call No. 88, and against the Motion 
to Table the Appeal of the Ruling of the Chair, Roll Call No. 83.
