  Ms. JENKINS of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, I was absent on Roll Call Votes 
12 through 23 on the evening of January 5, 2017.
  I am an original cosponsor of H.R. 26, the Regulations in Need of 
Scrutiny Act of 2017. I would have voted against all amendments that 
would weaken the underlying legislation, would have voted in favor of 
amendments that strengthen the underlying legislation, and would have 
voted in favor of final passage of this important legislation.
