                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. Speaker, because of inclement weather in my 
district, I was not in attendance for two recorded votes, rollcall vote 
No. 1 and rollcall vote No. 2.
  Had I been in attendance, I would have voted ``present'' on rollcall 
vote No. 1 and ``yea'' on rollcall vote No. 2.
