                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. COLLINS. Mr. Speaker, I was not present for rollcall vote 227, on 
Motion to Instruct Conferees on Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 
Users (H.R. 3550); rollcall vote 228, condemning the crackdown on 
democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, in the People's 
Republic of China on the 15th anniversary of that tragic massacre (H. 
Res. 655).
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' for rollcall votes 227 
and 228.
