BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. POLIS. Mr. Speaker, I was absent for Roll Call vote 205, on passage of H.R. 2. Had I been present, I would have voted ``No'' on final passage.

The partisan farm bill the Republican majority brought to the floor only sought to hurt millions of working families, children, older adults and persons with disabilities by cutting $23 million in SNAP benefits and undermine programs that protect the environment and promote conservation.
