                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. Speaker, because of a death in my family, I was not 
in attendance for rollcall votes Nos. 407, 408, 409, 410, 411, and 412.
  Had I been in attendance, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall 
votes Nos. 407, 409, 410, and 411, and ``nay'' on rollcall votes Nos. 
408 and 412.
