                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROSA L. DeLAURO

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 21, 2019

  Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Speaker, I had an unavoidable family commitment 
and so I missed Roll Call vote number 218 regarding the ``Intercountry 
Adoption Information Act (H.R. 1952).'' Had I been present, I would 
have voted ``Yes.''
  I also missed Roll Call vote number 219 regarding the ``Denouncing 
female genital mutilation/cutting as a violation of the human rights of 
women and girls and urging the international community and the Federal 
Government to increase efforts to eliminate the harmful practice (H. 
Res. 106)''. Had I been present, I would have voted ``Yes.''
