PERSONAL EXPLANATION

______

HON. PAUL A. GOSAR

of arizona

in the house of representatives

Friday, March 11, 2022

Mr. GOSAR. Madam Speaker, on Thursday, March 3, 2022, this body considered amendments and final passage of H.R. 3967, the Honoring our PACT Act. One amendment voted on before this chamber was Mr. Ryan of Ohio's amendment number 23 which added the text of the SFC Heath Robinson Burn Pit Transparency Act to the bill.

While I did not support final passage of this bill, I did support several of amendments offered to it. Amendment 23 was one such amendment. Due to error on the House floor, my amendment was incorrectly cast as no.

This was an error and I rise today to correct my vote and indicate that I intended to vote yes, in favor of amendment 23. While I have issues with the underlying bill, this amendment was a strong addition to ensure we provide an adequate level of care to our nation's veterans who are suffering from toxic exposure during their service to this country.

Madam Speaker, I reiterate that I intended to vote in favor of amendment 23.
