                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JARED POLIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 8, 2018

  Mr. POLIS. Mr. Speaker, I was absent for the vote on passage of H.R. 
3 (Roll Call No. 243). Had I been present, I would have voted ``No'' on 
final passage.
  This bill cuts critical funding from the Children's Health Insurance 
Program, education and job-training programs. H.R. 3 was brought to the 
floor in a rushed and closed process, with the Appropriations Committee 
holding no hearings or mark-ups and limiting the opportunity for 
Members to review the legislation.
