                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. RODNEY P. FRELINGHUYSEN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 5, 2012

  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker, I missed two votes on Tuesday, 
November 27, 2012. While I was unable to cast recorded votes on 
legislation considered by the House, I ask that the record reflect my 
intentions.
  On Tuesday, November 27, the House considered the Senate amendment to 
H.R. 915, the Jaime Zapata Border Enforcement Security Task Force Act. 
On rollcall vote No, 609, final passage of H.R. 915 under suspension of 
the rules, I would have voted ``yes.''
  The House also considered H.R. 5997, the Medical Preparedness 
Allowable Use Act. On rollcall vote No. 610, final passage of H.R. 5997 
under suspension of the rules, I would have voted ``yes.''
  Further, on November 30, 2012, the House considered H.R. 6429, the 
STEM Jobs Act. Unfortunately, I failed to cast a vote on final passage 
and I would like the record to reflect that I would have voted ``aye'' 
on rollcall vote No. 613, final passage of H.R. 6429.
