                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, due to delayed airline 
flights, I missed a vote held earlier today to elect the Speaker of the 
House. Had I been present, I certainly would have voted for the 
gentleman from Georgia [Mr. Gingrich].
  The SPEAKER. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. 
Boehner].
