Res. 354, a resolution ``Condemning the violence against peaceful protesters outside the Turkish Ambassador's residence on May 16, 2017, and calling for the perpetrators to be brought to justice and measures to be taken to prevent similar incidents in the future'' (Rollcall Vote No. 286), I would have voted ``aye.''
