                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. DEBRA A. HAALAND

                             of new mexico

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 16, 2019

  Ms. HAALAND. Madam Speaker, on October 15th, I missed Roll Call votes 
556 and 557. Had I been present, I would have voted ``Aye'' on Roll 
Call 556 on the bill H.R. 2385, legislation to create a grant program 
to support the Veterans Legacy Program and ensure that our veterans are 
not forgotten. I also would have voted ``Aye'' on Roll Call 557 on H.R. 
95, the Homeless Veteran Families Act. As a cosponsor of the bill and 
the daughter of two military veterans, I strongly believe that we owe 
it to those who served our country to ensure that they and their 
families have a safe place to live.
