“PERSONAL EXPLANATION” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the in the Extensions of Remarks section section on page E748 on July 18.
The Department is one of the oldest in the US, focused primarily on law enforcement and the federal prison system. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, detailed wasteful expenses such as $16 muffins at conferences and board meetings.

PERSONAL EXPLANATION
______
HON. JAIME HERRERA BEUTLER
of washington
in the house of representatives
Monday, July 18, 2022
Ms. HERRERA BEUTLER. Madam Speaker, on Wednesday, July 13, 2022 on H.R. 6538, the legislation to require a designated officer of the Department of Justice to act as the national coordinator of an Active Shooter Alert Communications Network regarding an emergency involving an active shooter that was voted on, I was incorrectly recorded on final passage during a long 22 vote series. I intended to support the final passage of H.R. 6538. On June 22, 2022, I voted ``aye'' on H.R. 6538 when the legislation was brought to the floor under suspension.
