                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. WEINER. Mr. Speaker, because I was attending a conference at the 
White House on immigration reform, I was unavoidably detained and would 
like to state for the Record that, had I been present, I would have 
voted ``yes'' on the McGovern-Jones amendment, would have voted ``yes'' 
on the McGovern-Sestak amendment, would have voted ``no'' on the Franks 
amendment, would have voted ``no'' on the Akin amendment, would have 
voted ``yes'' on the Holt amendment, would have voted ``yes'' on the 
Connolly amendment, and would have voted ``no'' on the Republican 
motion to recommit.
