                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. KOLBE. Mr. Speaker, today the House debated H.R. 3244, the 
``Trafficking Victims Protection Act'' conference report. I was 
unavoidably absent for a vote on the rule (H. Res. 613) and the bill. 
Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on the rule (rollcall 
vote No. 517) and ``aye'' on the conference report (rollcall vote No. 
518).
