                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 7, 2010

  Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Madam Speaker, on December 2, 2010, I was on 
official leave to attend to a medical matter. I was unable to cast 
votes on the extension of the middle class tax cuts, as well as the 
censure of Representative Charles Rangel. However, I strongly support 
extending tax cuts to the middle class, and would have voted favorably. 
On the matter of Representative Rangel, I would have voted ``yes'' on 
the reprimand but ``no'' on the censure.
