                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. MASCARA. Mr. Speaker, the President was in my district this 
morning for an event at Robert Morris College. He gave a great address 
and received a very warm welcome from the people of the 20th District 
of Pennsylvania.
  However, as a result, I was detained in my district and missed 
several votes. If I had been here, I would have voted ``no'' on the 
rule for the immigration conference report, rollcall No. 430, ``yes'' 
on the motion to recommit, rollcall No. 431, and ``yes'' on passage, 
rollcall No. 432.
