                         Tuesday, May 21, 2019

  Mr. BURCHETT. Madam Speaker, on March 5th, I missed all called votes 
because my flight from Knoxville, Tennessee, to Washington, D.C., was 
cancelled and I was unable to arrive until after conclusion of the 
day's votes.
  On Friday, May 17, I was being treated in the Emergency Department at 
George Washington University Hospital and was unable to vote on H.R. 5. 
Had I been able to vote, I would have voted against the bill.
