                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. ELLISON. Madam Speaker, on the morning of August 4, 2007, I was 
back in Minneapolis surveying the damage from the tragic collapse of 
the Interstate 35W bridge with President Bush and missed rollcall votes 
824 to 826. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall 
No. 824; I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 825; and I would 
have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 826.
