                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Speaker, during the final vote on H.R. 3246 (Rollcall 
78) I was in the Chamber and attempted to vote, but the Speaker closed 
the vote before I could cast my vote. I attempted to secure the 
attention of the Chair but was unseccessful. Had I been allowed to vote 
I would have voted ``no.''
