                      Wednesday, December 9, 2020

  Mr. PENCE. Madam Speaker, I am not recorded for roll call vote No. 
239 on Tuesday, December 8, 2020 because I was unavoidably detained. 
Had I been present, I would have voted Yea on H.R. 8354, Servicemembers 
and Veterans Initiative Act.
  This bill would create the Servicemembers and Veterans Initiative 
within the Justice Department. As a United States Marine, I am strongly 
committed to providing for our national defense and taking care of the 
men and women who sacrificed everything for our freedom.
