                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. RUSH HOLT

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 21, 2013

  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, on May 17, 2013 I missed a series of votes 
related to H.R. 1062, the so-called ``SEC Regulatory Accountability 
Act'', due to a prior commitment to escort my mother as she received an 
honorary doctorate from the West Virginia University. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``no'' on the Hurt amendment, ``yes'' on 
the Maloney amendment, ``yes'' on the motion to recommit and ``no'' on 
this bill.
