Doc Hastings: “Through you, I would advise my friend that I have no further speakers, and I am prepared to close if he is.”

I was not present for rollcall No. 448, S. 756--the First Step Act of 2018. However, had I been present, I would have voted ``yes'' on the measure. ____________________

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 230, noes 188, not voting 10, as follows: [Roll No. 403] AYES--230…

I am going to truncate my original remarks. Mr. Speaker, today's legislation is yet another callous attempt by my friends on the other side to undermine healthcare for millions of Americans, all while recklessly adding billions of dollars…

When I asked the gentleman to speak, I didn't mean for him to take my time. I yield an additional 15 seconds to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Raskin) for closing purposes.
