                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained and unable to 
cast a number of rollcall votes. Had I been present, I would have voted 
``yes'' on the Roybal-Allard amendment (rollcall No. 269), ``no'' on 
the Tancredo amendment (rollcall No. 270), ``yes'' on the Maloney/
Rangel amendment (rollcall No. 271), ``yes'' on the Sabo amendment 
(rollcall No. 272) and ``yes'' on final passage of the Homeland 
Security Appropriations bill (rollcall No. 275).
