                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RUSS CARNAHAN

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 10, 2012

  Mr. CARNAHAN. Mr. Speaker, due to being unavoidably delayed, I missed 
the vote on the Huelskamp Amendment, which prohibits the use of funds 
in contravention of the Defense of Marriage Act, to H.R. 5326 (roll No. 
235), the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Appropriations Act 
for FY 2013. I would have voted against this amendment, had I been 
present to record my vote.
