                         Friday, June 19, 2009

  Mr. REICHERT. Madam Speaker, along with 136 of my colleagues, I was 
unable to return to the House floor in time for an unexpected recorded 
vote on a motion to rise late in the evening of June 16, 2009. Had I 
been present for the vote, I would have voted ``no'' so that the House 
would consider an amendment to assess the economic impact of the delay 
in enacting the Colombia Free Trade Agreement.
