Response by Vern Buchanan to my email

Well, Congressman Buchanan FINALLY responded to my email after a couple of prodding posts on his Facebook wall:

Dear Mr. Hilsheimer:

Thank you for your email about House passage of S. 3473, legislation amending a 1990 law to exempt advances to the U.S. Coast Guard from the requirement that amounts in the trust fund shall be available only as provided in annual appropriations.

Had I been present when the House voted on S. 3473, I would have supported the measure, which passed 410-0 and has been signed into law.

Again, thank you for your email.

Sincerely,

Vern Buchanan
Member of Congress
