                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, I missed the vote on final 
passage of S. 1502, The District of Columbia Opportunity Scholarship 
Act. As a strong supporter of this much-needed legislation to improve 
the quality of education for thousands of school children in the 
District of Columbia, I would have voted ``yes'' on final passage.
