                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (during the vote). There are 2 minutes 
remaining.

                              {time}  1159

  Messrs. UPTON, ROGERS of Michigan, STARK, KEATING, TIERNEY, and Mrs. 
NAPOLITANO changed their vote from ``yea'' to ``nay.''
  Messrs. HASTINGS of Florida and CUMMINGS changed their vote from 
``nay'' to ``yea.''
  So the bill was passed.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated for:
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, regretfully I was out of town due to 
a family funeral. If I had been present to vote I would have voted 
``yea'' on final passage of H.R. 6156--Russia and Moldova Jackson-Vanik 
Repeal and Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act of 2012.
  Mr. WOLF. Madam Speaker, due to a long-scheduled obligation in 
northern Virginia this morning, I was unable to be present for the vote 
on the Russia and Moldova Jackson-Vanik Repeal and Sergei Magnitsky 
Rule of Law Accountability Act of 2012. I would have voted ``yea'' for 
this legislation if I was present because the Magnitsky Rule of Law 
provisions are essential to hold those who violate human rights and 
freedom of speech accountable.
  Stated against:
  Mr. FILNER. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall 608, I was away from the Capitol 
due to prior commitments to my constituents. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``nay.''


                          personal explanation

  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Madam Speaker, on November 15, 2012, 
I was unavoidably detained and missed roll Nos. 605, 606, and 607. Had 
I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on roll Nos. 605 and 606 and 
``yea'' on Roll No. 607.
  On November 16, 2012, I was unavoidably detained and missed Roll No. 
608. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' to approve H.R. 
6156.
