                         HON. ANTHONY G. BROWN

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 11, 2019

  Mr. BROWN of Maryland. Madam Speaker, on roll call no. 437, I 
mistakenly voted ``nay'' when I intended to vote ``aye.'' I was a 
cosponsor of H.R. 1044 in this and the previous Congress. I firmly 
believe that our immigration system needs comprehensive reform and this 
legislation is a small but important first step to alleviate the 
decades-long backlogs in our outdated employment and family-based 
immigration systems.
