                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. BOUSTANY. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to vote cast my vote on 
rollcall 374 and rollcall 375. Had I cast my vote, I would have voted 
``nay'' for rollcall 374 and ``yea'' for rollcall 375. I am proud to 
support the men and women of the Armed Forces and I appreciate the work 
of my colleagues to pass the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal year 2012 (H.R. 1540).
  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, on May 25, 2011, I inadvertently cast a 
``nay'' vote on the Murphy amendment #25 to H.R. 1540. I am very 
supportive of this amendment and Mr. Murphy's efforts to promote 
manufacturing and a national jobs agenda through our federal 
contracting procedures. I am pleased the amendment was adopted by the 
House.
  On May 26, 2011, I was absent and unable to vote on the PATRIOT Act. 
Had I been present; I would have voted ``nay.''
