                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. KAREN BASS

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 28, 2014

  Ms. BASS. Mr. Speaker, on March 5, 2014, I unintentionally opposed 
H.R. 2126, the Energy Efficiency Improvement Act of 2014, which passed 
in the House 375-136. H.R. 2126 is an important piece of legislation 
that will increase America's annual energy savings, create jobs, and 
significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I would like the record 
to note that I support H.R. 2126. I recognize that energy efficiency-
focused legislation plays a key role in crafting a thriving, 
diversified national energy strategy. I am dedicated to strengthening 
our country's energy efficiency and look forward to working with my 
colleagues on this issue in the future.
