                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. RON KIND

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 13, 2020

  Mr. KIND. Madam Speaker, I was unable to have my votes recorded on 
the House floor from January 6 through January 10, 2020 due to a family 
matter.
   Had I been present, I would have supported the final passage of all 
bills and resolutions considered on the floor. I strongly supported the 
passage of H.R. 535, the PFAS Action Act. PFAS pose a critical threat 
to human health, and I was proud my amendment, which would promote 
resources for private well water testing and treatment, was included in 
the bill. Wisconsinites deserve clean drinking water, and I am proud 
the House of Representatives is taking steps to address PFAS 
contamination across the country.
   I also strongly supported the passage of H. Con. Res. 83. This 
resolution sends a clear message to this Administration, our men and 
women in uniform, and all Americans: we will not go into another war 
without the President making the case to the American people and 
seeking approval from Congress.
