  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated against:
  Mrs. KIGGANS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained due 
to a personal family matter, and I regret missing the vote on the HALT 
Fentanyl Act today. I would have proudly voted in favor of this 
legislation, and I remain committed to fighting the fentanyl epidemic. 
Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 237.


                          Personal Explanation

  Mrs. NAPOLITANO. Mr. Speaker, I was absent for votes due to testing 
positve for COVID-19. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on 
rollcall No. 236 and ``nay'' on rollcall No. 237.


                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. OGLES. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been
