                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. Mr. Speaker, due to a death in my family, 
I missed a series of roll votes. Had I been present: I would have voted 
``yea'' on (rollcall No. 330) H.R. 1627, Honoring America's Veterans 
Act; I would have voted ``yea'' on (rollcall No. 331) H.R. 1383, 
Restoring GI Bill Fairness Act of 2011; and I would have voted ``yea'' 
on (rollcall No. 332) H.R. 1657, a bill to revise the enforcement 
penalties for those misrepresenting a business concern as being veteran 
owned and controlled.
