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.'' ____________________
