                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GUS M. BILIRAKIS

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 8, 2011

  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 249, I was inadvertently 
detained. I have been a strong opponent of the EPA's push to regulate 
emissions--a move that would effectively impose an energy tax on 
already struggling families. I am pleased that H.R. 910 passed the U.S. 
House decisively and I look forward to its passage in the U.S. Senate. 
Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.''
