                          personal explanation

  Mr. COLE. Mr. Speaker, during rollcall votes No. 624, on the motion 
to instruct conferees regarding H.R. 4310, No. 625, on the motion to 
permit closed conference meetings for H.R. 4310, and No. 626, on the 
motion to suspend the rules and pass H.R. 4053, I was unavoidably 
detained and unable to cast my votes. Had I been present, I would have 
voted ``aye'' on all three votes.
