                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. SCOTT DesJARLAIS

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 20, 2013

  Mr. DesJARLAIS. Mr. Speaker, at the conclusion of congressional 
business on Friday, May 17th, I was unable to cast three rollcall votes 
and voted erroneously on one amendment due in order to travel back to 
Tennessee in time to make it to my son's high school graduation 
ceremonies. On rollcall vote No. 157, Representative Hurt's amendment 
to H.R. 1062, I am recorded as not being present. I would like the 
Record to show that I would have voted in favor of this amendment. 
Next, I mistakenly voted in favor of rollcall vote No. 158 thinking the 
vote was still open for the rollcall vote No. 157, and I would like the 
Record to indicate I intended to vote against rollcall vote No. 158. 
Lastly, I would like the Record to indicate that I would have voted 
against rollcall vote No. 159, the motion to recommit with instructions 
and would have voted in favor of rollcall vote No. 160, passage of H.R. 
1062.
