                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. DeMINT. Mr. Speaker, today I missed rollcall Vote No. 178 and 
rollcall Vote No. 179 due to my son's graduation. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``yes'' on the motion to recommit with instructions 
and voted ``no'' on final passage of H.R. 701.
