  Mr. SCHNEIDER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today regarding votes I missed on 
January 24 and 25, 2023. I was not in Washington, D.C. on these dates 
due to the death of my father and subsequent mourning period. Had I 
been present, I would have voted as follows:
  Roll Call No. 32 on H.R. 159, the Chance to Compete Act of 2023, I 
would have voted yes. The bill enjoys strong bipartisan support to make 
our federal government more efficient.
  Roll Call No. 33 on H.R. 300, the Settlement Agreement Information 
Database Act of 2023, I would have voted yes. The bill enjoys strong 
bipartisan support to make our federal government more transparent.
  Roll Call No. 34 on H.R. 346, the NOTAM Improvement Act of 2023, I 
would have voted yes. The bill enjoys strong bipartisan support to make 
American aviation stronger, safer, and more reliable.
  Roll Call No. 35 on H.R. 400, the Investing in Main Street Act of 
2023, I would have voted yes. The bill enjoys strong bipartisan support 
to make American businesses stronger.
  Lastly, Roll Call No. 36 on H. Con. Res. 7, Commending the Bravery, 
Courage, and Resolve of the Women and Men of Iran Demonstrating in More 
Than 133 Cities and Risking Their Safety to Speak Out Against the 
Iranian Regime's Human Rights Abuses, I would have voted yes. I am a 
cosponsor of the resolution, which enjoys strong bipartisan support.
