                          PERSONAL EXPLANATON

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EARL BLUMENAUER

                               of oregon

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, February 2, 2018

  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Speaker, had I been present for the vote on 
ordering the previous question on H. Res. 714 (Roll Call No. 47), I 
would have voted no. Additionally, had I been present for the vote on 
H. Res. 714, the rule providing for the consideration of the House 
amendment to Senate amendment to H.R. 695, the Fiscal Year 2018 
Department of Defense Appropriations Act (Roll Call No. 48), I would 
have voted no.
  Had I been present for the vote on the motion to concur in the Senate 
amendment with an Amendment to H.R. 695, the Fiscal Year 2018 
Department of Defense Appropriations Act (Roll Call No. 49), I would 
have voted no. I voted against a nearly identical defense 
appropriations bill in July--and all the same issues remain.
  Finally, had I been present for the vote on H.R. 4292, the Financial 
Institution Living Will Improvement Act of 2017 (Roll Call No. 50), I 
would have voted aye.
