                          Monday, May 1, 2017

  Mr. JOHNSON of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, on April 20, I attended a 
meeting at the White House to discuss important issues and policy to my 
home state with President Donald Trump.
  Because of this meeting I missed Roll Call vote 236 on H.J. Res. 99--
Making further continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2017, and for 
other purposes.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``Yea'' on passage.
