                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. Speaker, I regret that I was unable to participate 
in a series of votes on the floor of the House of Representatives 
today.
  Had I been present to vote on rollcall No. 193, The Crane 
Conservation Act of 2009, I would have voted ``yea'' on the question.
  Had I been present to vote on rollcall No. 194, The Great Cats and 
Rare Canids Act, I would have voted ``yea'' on the question.
  Had I been present to vote on rollcall No. 195, Lake Hodges Surface 
Water Improvement and Reclamation Act of 2009, I would have voted 
``yea'' on the question.
