                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. LAURA RICHARDSON

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 26, 2011

  Ms. RICHARDSON. Mr. Speaker, I am recorded as voting ``aye'' on 
rollcall vote No.

344; this was inadvertent. I intended to vote ``no,'' as I do not 
support Congressman Hunter's amendment (#12) to H.R. 1540. Amendment 
#12 would create a five-year pilot program to provide school vouchers 
set at $7,500.00 to dependent children with special needs for the 
purpose of attending a public, private, or charter school of choice.
  Because I oppose this initiative, I ask the record to reflect my 
intention to vote as follows:
  1. On rollcall No. 344, I intended to vote ``no.'' Hunter Amendment 
(#11) to H.R. 1540.
