                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JACKIE SPEIER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 20, 2012

  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Speaker, I mistakenly voted ``no'' on the Motion to 
Recommit on H.R. 6684, the Spending Reduction Act of 2012. I support 
the Motion to Recommit, which would require that, within 30 days of the 
enactment of the bill, the Secretary of Health and Human Services 
publish on the Internet information regarding raised beneficiary costs 
and provider cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children's Health 
Insurance Program (CHIP) for each Congressional district in the United 
States. The Motion would also prohibit the major integrated oil 
companies from claiming certain tax benefits: the domestic production 
activities deduction, ``Last-in, First-out'' accounting, and the 
intangible drilling and development cost deduction.
