The text is a response to a constituent regarding the representative's position on two bills - H.R. 856, which would have provided Puerto Rico with options for self-determination, and H.R. 2922, which would have authorized military personnel to assist with border patrol. The representative voted against H.R. 856 but in favor of both H.R. 2922 and an amendment to the Defense Authorization Act. Ultimately, the Traficant Amendment was dropped during the reconciliation process between the House and Senate versions of the bill.
