                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 10, I was unavoidably 
detained making remarks to a business association headquartered in 
downtown Washington and was, for that reason, not present for the vote.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye.''
