                          PASSAGE OF H.R. 4278

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 27, 2014

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, it has come to my attention that I 
inadvertently voted ``no'' on H.R. 4278, the Ukraine Support Act. As 
such, my intention was to vote ``yes.'' My ``no'' vote was made in 
error.
  The United States has always stood for democracy, the rule of law and 
freedom. Passing actions such as H.R. 4278 sends a clear message to the 
rest of the world that we will not sit idly by and let Russian 
aggression go unchecked.
  I support Ukraine's sovereignty during this turbulent time and 
sanction those who have sought to undermine its independence and 
stability. I support H.R. 4278.
