                            HON. DIANE BLACK

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 16, 2018

  Mrs. BLACK. Mr. Speaker, I am not recorded for roll call votes on 
Thursday, July 12, 2018 because I was unavoidably detained. Had I been 
present, I would have voted Aye on final passage for H.R. 6237, the 
Matthew Young Pollard Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 
2018 and 2019 (Roll Call No. 326.) As a nation, we continue to face a 
growing number of threats that are becoming increasingly more complex 
and versatile in nature. This legislation is paramount to our continued 
efforts to protect the American people and keep our homeland safe from 
acts of terrorism.
