                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. COSTA. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to address the House 
regarding rollcall No. 265.
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object.
  Mr. COSTA. Mr. Speaker, I simply want to note for the Record that I 
had voted previously for the supplemental measure, and that if I had 
been here at the time, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall No. 265. 
It is consistent with my previous vote on this measure. While this 
measure is imperfect, I think on balance it provides the benchmarks the 
President has recommended. It also provides disaster relief that I 
think is necessary for many areas of the country that have experienced 
disaster that the President has so designated in his own message, and I 
want the Record to note that I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall No. 
265.
