                          Personal Explanation

  Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today, due to unforeseen 
circumstances, I missed the following votes:
  Senate Amendment to H.R. 3783--Countering Iran in the Western 
Hemisphere Act of 2012--had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' 
on this bill.
  H.R. 6621--To correct and improve certain provisions of the Leahy-
Smith America Invents Act and title 35, United States Code--had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yea'' on this bill.
  S. 3642--Theft of Trade Secrets Clarification Act of 2012--had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yea'' on this bill.
