                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                  _____
                                 

                            HON. BILL POSEY

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 17, 2011

  Mr. POSEY. Mr. Speaker, I am a cosponsor of H.R. 674, to amend the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal the imposition of 3 percent 
withholding on certain payments made to vendors by government entities. 
I supported passage of the bill in the House of Representatives on 
October 27 and again, with Senate amendments, on November 16. I was 
also a cosponsor of similar legislation (H.R. 275) in the 111th 
Congress. Although I was on the House floor and voting on November 16, 
my vote was not recorded for H.R. 674. I would like for the record to 
read that I should have been recorded as a ``yes'' vote.
