                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. McDERMOTT. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to be in Washington, DC, 
today because I was participating at a conference hosted by the 
International Justice Mission (IJM) in Salt Lake City, UT. As a result, 
I missed three votes. Had I been able to vote, I would have voted in 
support of H.J. Res 82 (rollcall No. 11) and H. Res 340. I would have 
voted against H. Con. Res. 312 (rollcall No. 10).
