                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Madam Speaker, because I was unavoidably 
detained with constituents, I would like to acknowledge that my vote 
would have been ``aye'' in roll call vote No. 737, the Medicare Premium 
Fairness Act, on Thursday, September 24, 2009.
  Likewise, I was unavoidably detained in a meeting with the Vice 
President, and I would like to indicate that my votes today on passage 
of H.R. 905, Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and Underwater 
Preserve Boundary Modification Act, roll call vote No. 740, would have 
been ``aye''; H. Res. 16, supporting the goals and ideals of the 
National Life Insurance Awareness Month, roll call vote 741, would have 
been ``aye''; and adoption of motion to instruct conferees on H.R. 
2997, Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010, roll call vote 742, would 
have been ``no.''
