  Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 371, I was unable to cast a 
vote on the Gosar amendment to the Legislative Branch Appropriations 
bill for fiscal year 2013 (H.R. 5882) because I was unavoidably 
detained at a memorial for a fallen peace officer.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall No. 371, 
to reduce funding for the U.S. Botanical Gardens by $1.235 million.
