                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. TEAGUE. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained on the evening of 
June 24, 2010, and was unable to record my votes for rollcalls 393 and 
394. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes'' on the Senate 
Amendments to H.R. 3962, the Preservation of Access to Care for 
Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010 and H.R. 2194, 
the Conference Report on Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, 
and Divestment Act.
  Although I believe we should legislate a permanent solution to the 
sustainable growth rate for Medicare and TRICARE, it is critical that 
we prevent impending cuts for the sake of our doctors, our seniors, and 
our veterans.
