                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Madam Speaker, I was unavoidably detained 
on official business.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' for the adoption of H. 
Res. 421, recognizing and commending the Great Smoky Mountains National 
Park on its 75th year anniversary; I would have voted ``aye'' on 
adoption of H.J. Res. 40, Native American Heritage Day Act of 2009; and 
I would have voted ``aye'' on H. Res. 489, recognizing the 20th 
anniversary of the brutal suppression of protesters and citizens in and 
around Tiananmen Square.
