                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DIANE BLACK

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 23, 2018

  Mrs. BLACK. Mr. Speaker, I am not recorded for roll call votes on 
Wednesday, July 18, 2018 because I was unavoidably detained. Had I been 
present, I would have voted Aye on final passage for H. Res. 990, 
Supporting the officers and personnel who carry out the important 
mission of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (RC 
No. 337.) It is disheartening to see my Democrat colleagues in Congress 
demonizing the men and women who make a daily sacrifice to secure our 
borders. As an original co-sponsor of this legislation, I am proud to 
support the heroic officers who carry out the important mission at our 
border to preserve our national security and protect our families.
