Mr. Speaker, on Monday, July 24, 2017, I was unavoidably detained attending to a funeral in my home state. Thus, I was not present for the rollcall votes that were cast. Had I been present, I would have voted as follows: 1. H.R. 3180--Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018--I would have voted ``no.'' 2. S. 114--A bill to authorize appropriations for the Veterans Choice Program--I would have voted ``no.'' 3. H.R. 3218--Harry W. Colmery Veterans Educational Assistance Act--I would have voted ``yes.'' ____________________
