  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, on June 9, 2014, I was unavoidably 
detained attending to representational activities in my congressional 
district, and thus unable to return in time for rollcall votes Nos. 272 
through 274. Had I been present, I would have voted as follows:
  1. On rollcall No. 272, I would have voted ``yes''. (H.R. 4412, To 
authorize the programs of the National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration)
  2. On rollcall No. 273, I would have voted ``no''. (Broun Amendment 
to H.R. 4745, Transportation--Housing and Urban Development 
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2015, reducing funding for Amtrak by 
$34 million (10% cut))
  3. On rollcall No. 274, I would have voted ``no''. (Chabot Amendment 
to H.R. 4745, Transportation--Housing and Urban Development 
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2015, reduces overall funding for 
Section 8 housing programs by approximately $3 billion (10% cut))
