  Mrs. DEMINGS. Mr. Speaker, on the evening of Wednesday, February 7, 
2018, I had the honor and privilege of addressing the Southeast 
Regional Welcome Dinner in connection with this year's National Prayer 
Breakfast. My arrival at that event was prior to the issuance of notice 
that votes were about to be held, and I was unfortunately unable to 
return to the House Chamber before they concluded.
  Had I been present, I would have voted yea on Roll Call votes 61, 62, 
and 63.
