Mr. Speaker, I was unable to vote cast my vote on rollcall 374 and rollcall 375. Had I cast my vote, I would have voted ``nay'' for rollcall 374 and ``yea'' for rollcall 375. I am proud to support the men and women of the Armed Forces and I appreciate the work of my colleagues to pass the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal year 2012 (H.R. 1540). Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, on May 25, 2011, I inadvertently cast a ``nay'' vote on the Murphy amendment #25 to H.R. 1540. I am very supportive of this amendment and Mr. Murphy's efforts to promote manufacturing and a national jobs agenda through our federal contracting procedures. I am pleased the amendment was adopted by the House. On May 26, 2011, I was absent and unable to vote on the PATRIOT Act. Had I been present; I would have voted ``nay.''
