Jan. 21, 2016 sees Congressional Record publish “VOTE EXPLANATION”

Volume 162, No. 12 covering the 2nd Session of the 114th Congress (2015 - 2016) was published by the Congressional Record.

The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.

“VOTE EXPLANATION” mentioning the Environmental Protection Agency was published in the Senate section on pages S156 on Jan. 21, 2016.

The publication is reproduced in full below:

VOTE EXPLANATION

Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I regret missing the vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the veto message on S.J. Res. 22, a bill that would block implementation of the Waters of the United States rule and prevent the Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers from reissuing a regulation that is substantially similar in the future. I voted against S.J. Res. 22 last fall and, had I been present, I would have voted to uphold the President's veto. While this rule is not perfect, it provides important environmental protection efforts.
