                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. GRUCCI. Madam Speaker, due to the death of my mother-in-law, Mrs. 
Carmella Fierro, I was unable to participate in today's recorded votes. 
However, I would have voted in the affirmative on each of the three 
suspension bills on today's agenda:
  H.J. Res. 7 Recognizing the 90th Birthday of Ronald Reagan, H.R. 395 
Ronald Reagan Post Office Designation, and H. Res. 28 Honoring the 
Contributions of Catholic Schools.
