                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. LAMPSON. Madam Speaker, on February 24, on rollcall 18, I am 
recorded as not voting. Unfortunately, my flight into National Airport 
was delayed.
  This bill provides for increased mandatory minimum sentences for 
criminals possessing firearms. Had I been recorded on that vote, I 
would have voted ``aye.''
