  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated for:
  Ms. SPANBERGER. Madam Speaker, I inadvertently voted ``nay'' on 
rollcall No. 235 on Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass, as amended 
H.R. 1669, VET-TEC Authorization Act. I meant to vote ``yea.''
  Mrs. NAPOLITANO. Madam Speaker, I was absent for votes due to testing 
positive for COVID-19. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' 
on rollcall No. 233, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 234 and ``yea`` on 
rollcall No. 235.


                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. OGLES. Madam Speaker, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 233, ``yea'' on 
rollcall No. 234, and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 235.
