                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM R. KEATING

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 6, 2018

  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, on September 4, 2018, Massachusetts held 
its state primary elections. I was therefore unable to be present for 
the vote on the Democratic Motion to Instruct Conferees on H.R. 6157, 
the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2019. Had I been present 
for Roll Call No. 380, I would have voted YEA.
  I was also unable to be present for the vote on passage of H.R. 6439, 
the Biometric Identification Transnational Migration Alert Program 
Authorization Act of 2018 Act, under suspension of the rules. Had I 
been present for Roll Call No. 381, I would have voted YEA.
