  Mr. BABIN changed his vote from ``yea'' to ``nay.''
  So the bill was passed.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Mr. TIBERI. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 322 (passage of H.R. 2842), 
I did not cast my vote. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' 
on this vote.


                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mrs. NAPOLITANO. Mr. Speaker, I was absent during rollcall votes No. 
320, No. 321, and No. 322 due to my spouse's health situation in 
California. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on the 
Krishnamoorthi Amendment. I would have also voted ``nay'' on the 
Davidson Amendment. I would have also voted ``yea'' on the Final 
Passage of H.R. 2842--Accelerating Individuals into the Workforce Act.
