[Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 18 (Wednesday, January 31, 2024)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E102] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] ERSONAL EXPLANATION ______ HON. TED LIEU of california in the house of representatives Wednesday, January 31, 2024 Mr. LIEU. Mr. Speaker, I was absent from the House floor for part of January 18, 2024. As a member of the Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus, I have spent my career in public office working to protect equal access to reproductive health care for all Americans. I also believe that the government has no place to influence an individual's decision to use family planning services such as birth control or abortion. Had I been present to cast a vote, I would have voted NAY on Roll Call No. 19. ____________________
