  Ms. CASTOR of Florida. Mr. Speaker, on May 10 and 11, 2016 I was 
absent. Vice President Biden gave an important address about U.S. 
foreign policy in the Western Hemisphere in my District and I was part 
of the program. Had I been present on Tuesday May 10, I would have 
voted ``yes'' on H.R. 4957 and H.R. 5052. Had I been present on 
Wednesday May 11, I would have voted ``no'' on the Previous Questions 
on H. Res. 720, ``no'' on Agreeing to H. Res. 720, ``yes'' on H.R. 
4843, and lastly, had I been present I would have voted ``yes'' on H.R. 
4641--the same way I voted in Committee when we were considering the 
bill in the Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee Markup on April 20, 
2016 and in the full Energy and Commerce Committee Markup on April 27, 
2016.
