Rep. Glenn Thompson
Mr. Speaker, I was not in attendance on Friday, September 9, 2011, due to catastrophic flooding in Pennsylvania's Fifth Congressional District. My presence was needed at home, on the ground, with my constituents, first-responders, and recovery teams. While back in Pennsylvania, I met with local officials and constituents to help assist in disaster recovery efforts. I also toured many of the towns in the 5th District of Pennsylvania that were most affected by the floods. Consequently, I missed the vote on final passage of H.R. 1892, the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012.
Had I been present for rollcall vote number 698, my vote on passage of H.R. 1892 would have been ``yes.''
