                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JARED POLIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 8, 2018

  Mr. POLIS. Mr. Speaker, I was absent for the vote on passage of H.R. 
5895 (Roll Call No. 257). Had I been present, I would have voted ``No'' 
on final passage.
  H.R. 5895 is a consolidation of three appropriations bills, all which 
deserve individual consideration. The FY19 Energy and Water 
appropriations bill does little to protect our environment, cuts 
investment in clean energy initiatives, weakens safeguards to protect 
endangered species and makes drinking water less safe for children.
