                         Monday, March 2, 2015

  Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to have it noted 
in the Congressional Record that I was unable to vote on the Homeland 
Security Department Continuing Resolution last Friday night due to 
previously scheduled events held in my district in Houston.
  One of my biggest priorities as a Member of this Chamber is being 
present for every vote. I hope that the majority will make sure that 
future votes are held during scheduled times.
  If I had been available Friday evening, I would have voted ``yea.''

                          ____________________
