  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I would like to provide a reason for my 
absence during a series of votes on Thursday, January 9, 2014. During 
Roll Calls 7-10, I was suffering from severe back spasms and went 
immediately to the Attending Physician's office for assistance. If 
present, I would have voted yes during Roll Calls 7, 8 and 9 and I 
would have voted no during Roll Call 10.

                          ____________________
