                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JAMES P. McGOVERN

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 23, 2013

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, due to the recent tragic events in 
Massachusetts, I was absent for a series of five votes on April 18, 
2013. Should I have been present, I would have voted yes on rollcall 
vote 113; yes on vote 114; yes on vote 115; and yes on vote 116. I 
share many of the concerns about privacy raised by a number of my 
colleagues during that debate, and I would have opposed rollcall vote 
117, final passage of H.R. 624, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and 
Protection Act.
