submitted the following 

SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT 

[To accompany H.R. 5] 

On March 17, 2011, the Committee on the Judiciary filed House 

Report 112–39, Part 1, relating to H.R. 5, to improve patient access 

to health care services and provide improved medical care by reducing the excessive burden the liability system places on the 

health care delivery system (commonly known as the HEALTH Act 

of 2011). 

In the original report, a printing error appears in rollcall vote #1. 

The report incorrectly listed Mr. Johnson as not voting. Mr. Johnson voted for the amendment. 

In rollcall vote #4, the original report also incorrectly listed Ms. 

Jackson Lee, Ms. Waters, Mr. Cohen, Mr. Quigley, Ms. Chu, Mr. 

Deutch, and Ms. Sa ́nchez as having voted against the amendment. 

The correct result shows that those Members voted for the amendment. 

The corrected rollcall votes are being printed in this supplemental report.
