  So (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and 
the bill was passed.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated for:
  Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained during the 
last vote of the second series on February 11, 2015. Had I been 
present, I would have voted yes on H.R. 431, legislation to award a 
Congressional Gold Medal to the Foot Soldiers who participated in 
Bloody Sunday, Turnaround Tuesday, or the final Selma to Montgomery 
Voting Rights March in March of 1965, which served as a catalyst for 
the Voting Rights Act of 1965.


                          Personal Explanation

  Mr. ROE of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to vote today because 
of a serious illness in my family. Had I been present, I would have 
voted: rollcall No. 74--``nay,'' rollcall No. 75--``yea,'' rollcall No. 
76--``yea.''


                          Personal explanation

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 75 and 76 I was 
unavoidably detained outside of Washington, DC. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``yea.''
