HON. CHARLES A. GONZALEZ

in the house of representatives
Monday, September 26, 2011
Mr. GONZALEZ. Mr. Speaker, I would like the Record to reflect that,
had I been present for the vote, I should have voted ``nay'' on the
Motion to Concur in the Senate Amendment with an Amendment to the
Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012 (H.R. 2608) as I had voted against
it on Wednesday, September 21, 2010.
SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS
Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, agreed to by the Senate on February
4, 1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized
schedule of all meetings and hearings of Senate committees,
subcommittees, joint committees, and committees of conference. This
title requires all such committees to notify the Office of the Senate
Daily Digest--designated by the Rules Committee--of the time, place,
and purpose of the meetings, when scheduled, and any cancellations or
changes in the meetings as they occur.
As an additional procedure along with the computerization of this
information, the Office of the Senate Daily Digest will prepare this
information for printing in the Extensions of Remarks section of the
Congressional Record on Monday and Wednesday of each week.
Meetings scheduled for Tuesday, September 27, 2011 may be found in
the Daily Digest of today's Record.
