                           HON. BRAD SHERMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 25, 2011

  Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my practice to vote present on a 
legislative proposal when I agree with the purposes and sentiment 
behind the proposal, but I believe that the particular legislative 
proposal is not drafted in a way which will achieve its objective or in 
a way that is effective and practicable, or where I believe that the 
language will have unintended consequences. I voted present on the 
motion to recommit which came before the House today. I strongly 
believe that we should take all reasonable steps to encourage companies 
to provide employment in the U.S. and to discourage offshoring and 
outsourcing.
