                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. ABERCROMBIE. Mr. Speaker, I would like to explain to the chair 
the rollcall numbers on which I missed votes, due to being at the White 
House this morning.
  On rollcall No. 507, I would have voted ``yes.'' That was the 
District of Columbia Appropriation. On rollcall No. 508, the 
Transportation Appropriation Conference Report, I would have

voted ``yes.'' On rollcall No. 509, approving the reading of the 
Journal, I would have voted ``yes.''
  The reason, Mr. Speaker, that those votes were missed was the signing 
of the National Wildlife Refuge reform bill at the White House this 
morning.
