                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JAMES R. LANGEVIN

                            of rhode island

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 9, 2016

  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I want to state that on July 13, 2016, 
during House Roll Call number 444, I incorrectly voted ``aye'' when I 
had intended to vote ``nay.''
  I strongly support the administration's implementation of the Well 
Control Rule, which was developed in the wake of the disastrous 
Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. I would also like to 
state that I continue to advocate for adequate protection of our 
offshore natural resources and the conservation of our marine 
environment.
