                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 14, 2015

  Mr. BRENDAN F. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, on May 13, 2015, I 
traveled to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to be with the health care 
providers, first responders, and volunteers working to restore peace 
and safety to the scene of Amtrak Northeast Regional Train 188's 
derailment. For this reason, unfortunately, I missed some important 
votes on the floor of the House of Representatives, including H.R. 
2048, the USA FREEDOM Act. If I were present, I would have voted 
``yes'' on rollcall 224.
