                      Tuesday, September 10, 2013

  Mr. BARBER. Mr. Speaker, due to attending a classified briefing on 
the use of chemical weapons in Syria, I missed one recorded vote on 
September 9. I would like to indicate how I would have voted had I been 
present for that vote.
  On rollcall No. 448, H.R. 2052, the Global Investment in American 
Jobs Act of 2013, I would have voted ``yea'' to direct the Secretary of 
Commerce, in coordination with the heads of other relevant Federal 
departments and agencies, to conduct an interagency review of and 
report to Congress on ways to increase the global competitiveness of 
the United States in attracting foreign direct investment.
