                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. Speaker, in relation to the rollcall vote no. 309 on 
the Coast Guard Reauthorization Act, I was in a meeting in the Capitol 
here where the lights and bells that notify Members of the vote 
malfunctioned and we were unaware that the vote was taking place. Had I 
been here, I would have voted in the affirmative on rollcall vote 309.
