                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. GLENN THOMPSON

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 23, 2020

  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, due to pre-scheduled 
travel with the President, I was absent from voting on September 22, 
2020. As such, I was unable to vote on the Continuing Resolution, which 
will keep the government funded into December and provide critical 
funding for the USDA's Commodity Credit Corporation.
  To ensure USDA meets its farm bill obligations and temporary 
assistance to rural America continues during these difficult times, 
replenishing the CCC was a major priority and I strongly support its 
inclusion in this CR.
  Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 198.
