                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. LaHOOD. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 207, I was unavoidably 
detained for the vote on final passage of House Joint Resolution 56, a 
resolution celebrating the end of slavery in the United States. Had I 
been present for this vote, I would certainly have voted in favor of 
this important resolution because of its historical significance to our 
country.
