[Congressional Record Volume 155, Number 14 (Friday, January 23, 2009)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E133] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] PERSONAL EXPLANATION _____ HON. KURT SCHRADER of oregon in the house of representatives Friday, January 23, 2009 Mr. SCHRADER. Madam Speaker, my vote against the Republican Motion to Recommit reflected my commitment to maintaining a solid record of representation for my Congressional District, unclouded by political gamesmanship. This Motion stood in the way of passing a necessary accountability measure. I took this vote with the full knowledge that I would have the opportunity the next day to vote against releasing the second half of the bailout money for the financial industry.
