  Mr. POLIS. Mr. Speaker, I was absent for Roll Call vote 205, on 
passage of H.R. 2. Had I been present, I would have voted ``No'' on 
final passage.
  The partisan farm bill the Republican majority brought to the floor 
only sought to hurt millions of working families, children, older 
adults and persons with disabilities by cutting $23 million in SNAP 
benefits and undermine programs that protect the environment and 
promote conservation.
