                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. LARSON of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to state on the 
record that my vote on Roll Call Vote 248 (final passage for H.R. 2500, 
Commerce, Justice, State Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2002) did not 
register. I inserted my voting card into the machine and voted aye, but 
my vote did not register. This is the second time that this has 
occurred this year on the final passage of a bill, despite the fact 
that my voting card was recently replaced after it would not work at 
all. While I realize that human error can be involved in this 
situation, the fact that I was in the Chamber and voting, and my card 
has malfunctioned so many times in the past, I think it is self-evident 
that my vote should have been recorded as aye on Roll Call Vote 248.

REPORT ON RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 2506, FOREIGN 
 OPERATIONS, EXPORT FINANCING AND RELATED PROGRAMS APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 
                                  2002

  Mr. DIAZ-BALART, from the Committee on Rules, submitted a privileged 
report (Rept. No. 107-146) on the resolution (H.Res. 199) providing for 
consideration of the bill (H. R. 2506) making appropriations for 
foreign operations, export financing, and related programs for the 
fiscal year ending September 30, 2002, and for other purposes, which 
was referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed.
