                         HON. JAMES P. McGOVERN

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 15, 2013

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I missed rollcall vote No. 7 on January 4, 
2013. I was attending the opening of an orphanage in Haiti established 
in honor of my constituent, Britney Gengel, who died in the 2010 
earthquake, and I was unable to attend votes on that day. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``aye'' on H.R. 41.
