                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. KWEISI MFUME

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 14, 2023

  Mr. MFUME. Mr. Speaker, on September 12, 2023, I did not arrive in 
Washington in time for the vote on H.R. 1567--ACRES Act, as amended, 
and H.R. 3324--To extend the authority to collect Shasta-Trinity Marina 
fees through fiscal year 2029. I missed both votes because I was in 
attendance and speaking at the funeral for Lawrence Lacks, Sr., the 
last living child of the late Henrietta Lacks, the mother of the 
medically famous HeLa cell, and a former neighbor of mine in my youth. 
Had I been in D.C., my vote would have been YEA on H.R. 1567, Roll Call 
No. 386, and YEA on H.R. 3324, Roll Call No. 387.
