  Ms. SOLIS. Mr. Speaker, during rollcall vote No. 149 on H. Res. 402--
Laos People's Democratic Republic, I was unavoidably detained. Had I

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise to offer a personal explanation. 
Earlier today, I was unavoidably detained on rollcall votes 147, 148, 
and 149 due to a prior obligation. Had I been present, I would have 
voted ``no'' on rollcall vote 147, ``yea'' on rollcall vote 148, and 
``yea'' on rollcall vote 149.
