                          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).
  As a result, I was not able to vote today. Had I been able to vote, I 
would have recorded the following: On rollcall vote No. 12, I would 
have voted ``yea''; on rollcall vote No. 13, I would have voted 
``yea''; on rollcall vote No. 14, I would have voted ``aye.''
