                       Wednesday, March 25, 2015

  Mr. TED LIEU of California. Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, March 25, 
2015, my vote on the Butterfield/Scott/Lee/Moore Amendment in the 
Nature of a Substitute, known as the CBC Budget (Roll Call Vote No. 
137) was recorded as a ``No'' vote when I intended to cast a ``Yes'' 
vote as well. I wish to clarify my miscast vote and express my strong 
support for progressive budgets that invest in everyone.
  The CBC Budget is a roadmap to American success in the 21st century. 
The Budget proposes a comprehensive jobs program and makes critical 
investments in education, infrastructure and rebuilds the social safety 
net. It reduces the deficit by $1.9 trillion, while investing in 
American families. The Budget also contains a bold plan to combat 
poverty in America and keeps faith with the promises we have made to 
our seniors by protecting Social Security and Medicare. The CBC Budget 
is a powerful statement of values and vision that seeks to guarantee a 
share of the American dream for everyone.
