                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. TAMMY DUCKWORTH

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 16, 2015

  Ms. DUCKWORTH. Mr. Speaker, on June 15, 2015 on Roll Call #364 on H. 
Res. 233--Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
Iran should immediately release the three United States citizens that 
it holds, as well as provide all known information on any United States 
citizens that have disappeared within its borders--I am not recorded 
because a weather-related flight cancellation prevented me from being 
present for the vote. I am a cosponsor of this important resolution and 
believe it sends a critical message that if Iran truly wants to engage 
in constructive interaction with the world, it must release American 
prisoners. Had I been present, I would have voted AYE.
  On June 15, 2015 on Roll Call #365 on H.R. 2559--to designate the 
``PFC Milton A. Lee Medal of Honor Memorial Highway'' in the State of 
Texas--I am not recorded because a weather-related flight cancellation 
prevented me from being present for the vote. Had I been present, I 
would have voted AYE.
