                        Friday, December 7, 2012

  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, December 4, 2012 I 
had a meeting with my constituents from Shelby, Douglas and Cole 
counties in Illinois and I missed procedural votes on approving the 
Journal and motion to adjourn. I also missed one Suspension vote on 
H.R. 6582, which would allow for innovations and alternative 
technologies that meet or exceed desired energy efficiency goals, and 
to make technical corrections to existing Federal energy efficiency 
laws to allow American manufacturers to remain competitive.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on the above stated 
votes.
