                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. RAMSTAD. Mr. Speaker, I rise to express my support for H.R. 447, 
the bill to establish a toll free number to assist consumers in 
determining if products are American made, and House Concurrent 
Resolution 120, in support of the independence of sovereignty of 
Ukraine and the progress of its political and economic reforms.
  Due to a delayed flight because of inclement weather, I was unable to 
be here for roll call votes number 402 and 403. But had I been here I 
would have voted in favor of the above bill and concurrent resolution.
