[Congressional Record Volume 158, Number 15 (Tuesday, January 31, 2012)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E93] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] PERSONAL EXPLANATION ______ HON. DAVID LOEBSACK of iowa in the house of representatives Tuesday, January 31, 2012 Mr. LOEBSACK. Mr. Speaker, on January 25, 2012, I was not present for two recorded votes because I was in my district highlighting the importance of manufacturing to rebuilding Iowa's economy and supporting good-paying Iowa jobs. If I had been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall 10 and ``yea'' on rollcall 11. In addition, on the occasion of her resignation from the House of Representatives, I would also like to honor Congresswoman Giffords' service to our country and her constituents. I had the honor of sitting next to Congresswoman Giffords on the House Armed Services Committee. Her dedication to our troops and to her constituents will be missed. ____________________
