                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 9, 2016

  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, on May 18, 2016, while I was in an office 
meeting, the legislative signal bells in my office malfunctioned due to 
a loose electrical connection, and neither I nor my staff accompanying 
me knew that a vote had been called. The Architect of the Capitol's 
Electrical Engineering Branch later repaired the signal bells.
  If present, I would have voted ``no'' on H. Res. 735.
