                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, during rollcall 765, I, along with Mr. 
Hoyer, Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz, Mr. Crowley, Mr. Smith, and 
other Members, was present at the decommissioning ceremony of Commander 
Mark Kelly, who was there with his wife, our colleague, Gabby Giffords. 
For that reason, we missed that rollcall vote.
  For myself, had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on the 
motion to table the resolution.
  I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall 766, the Waxman bill, to 
protect our children from mercury.
  I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall 767, Mr. Rush's amendment.
  My colleague, the distinguished Democratic whip, says that he and Ms. 
Wasserman Schultz would have voted similarly.
