Regrets

Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Iowa:

Mr. Speaker, I regret missing floor votes on Wednesday, January 25, 2012. Had I registered my votes, I would have voted:

   ”Yea” on rollcall 10, motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass H.R. 1022—the Buffalo Soldiers in the National Parks Study Act;

   ”Yea” on rollcall 11, motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass H.R. 3801—to amend the Tariff Act of 1930 to clarify the definition of aircraft and the offenses penalized under the aviation smuggling provisions under the Act, and for other purposes.
