                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. HILLEARY. Madam Speaker, due to a set of tragic events in my 
district last night and yesterday, I was unable to be present for a 
series of votes last night, including the Doolittle amendment and the 
Fossella amendment to the Shays-Meehan substitute to H.R. 2183. If I 
had been present, I would have voted aye on roll call 275 and aye on 
roll call 276.
