  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, September 19, 
2012 I had to meet with constituents in the Champaign-Urbana area 
concerning financial matters of local Government and I missed 
suspension votes on H.R. 5044, the Andrew P. Carpenter Tax Act, which 
amends the Internal Revenue Code to exclude from gross income any 
amount attributable to the discharge of student loan indebtedness of a 
veteran who died as a result of a service-connected disability. Also I 
missed votes on H.R. 5912, which would Amend the Internal Revenue Code 
to prohibit public funds for political party conventions.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on the above stated 
bills.
