                       Thursday, February 6, 2020

  Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ. Madam Speaker, unfortunately, I missed the first 
vote due to a scheduled district meeting that went longer than 
expected.
  Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 35 (H.R. 
4044--Protect and Restore Americas Estuaries Act).
