                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                  _____
                                 

                        HON. BILL PASCRELL, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 8, 2017

  Mr. PASCRELL. Mr. Speaker, on March 1, 2017, I missed one roll call 
vote. Had I been present, I would have voted:
  NO on Roll Call Vote 116, H. Res. 156, Providing for consideration of 
H.R. 1004, the Regulatory Integrity Act of 2017; and H.R. 1009, the 
OIRA Insight, Reform, and Accountability Act.
  I would have cast my vote in opposition to this resolution because 
the Rules Committee rejected a motion by Ms. Slaughter of New York to 
consider both H.R. 1004 and H.R. 1009 under open Rules. The Rules 
Committee also rejected a motion by Mr. McGovern of Massachusetts to 
strike the waiver of all points of order against consideration of H.R. 
1009 which includes waiver of CUTGO, statutory pay-go, and sections 303 
and 311 of the Congressional Budget Act.
