  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Speaker, had I been present for the vote on H.R. 
5687--the SOUND Disposal and Packaging Act (Roll Call No. 269), I would 
have voted ``aye.'' This bill would require the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act to improve packaging and disposal methods for certain 
drugs.
  Additionally, had I been present for the vote on H.R. 5676--the 
SENIOR Communities Protection Act of 2018 (Roll Call No. 270), I would 
have voted ``aye.'' This bill would authorize Medicare prescription 
drug plans and MA-PD plans to suspend payments to pharmacies pending 
investigations of credible allegations of fraud.
