  Mrs. LAWRENCE. Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, on December 18, 2017, I 
was not able to cast my votes during the vote series due to a prior 
obligation in my District. Had I been in attendance, I would have 
voted: NO on the Motion to Fix the Convening Time; YES on H.R. 4375--
STEM Research and Education Effectiveness and Transparency Act, as 
amended (Rep. Comstock--Science, Space, and Technology); and YES on 
H.R. 3979--Keep America's Refuges Operational Act, as amended (Rep. 
Jeffries--Natural Resources).
