                      Wednesday, February 8, 2012

  Ms. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, due to a previously scheduled doctor's 
appointment, I was absent from votes in the House yesterday afternoon 
(Tuesday, February 7th) and missed rollcall votes 40-42. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall votes 40 (the Tonko 
Amendment to H.R. 3581, the Budget and Accounting Transparency Act) and 
41 (motion to recommit H.R. 3581), and ``no'' on rollcall vote 42 
(final passage of H.R. 3581).
