                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 20, 2012

  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 585, I was 
unavoidably detained and could not be present for last night's rollcall 
vote on H.R. 5044, the Andrew P. Carpenter Tax Act. I am a cosponsor 
and strong supporter of this legislation, which would provide tax 
relief from any amounts of private educational loans forgiven for 
service members who lost their lives in the line of duty since the 
beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom in October of 2001. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yes.''
