He co-sponsored it along with Mike Lee on the same day, i believe, although neither of them were among the original co-sponsors.

He voted against the Corker Bill in cloture, and my personal opinion was that this was an allowed safe no vote knowing that the bill would pass cloture. This gives cover to those elected reps whose voters expect them to oppose such things as this.

He then voted for it on the final vote along with every other senator aside from Cotton who voted no and Boxer who was not present.
