                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Speaker, due to a malfunction with the House 
paging system, which rendered inoperative the paging system used to 
notify Members of votes, I was unaware of the vote at approximately 
12:30 p.m. today on the rule on the Supplemental Appropriations Act. 
Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay.''
