                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. TULSI GABBARD

                               of hawaii-

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 28, 2020

  Ms. GABBARD. Madam Speaker, on August 22, 2020, I was unable to be 
present to vote due to my service in the Army National Guard, and I did 
not request a Member to cast my vote out of an abundance of caution and 
respect for the Resolution that authorized proxy voting only during a 
public health emergency caused by the coronavirus. I missed Roll Call 
votes Nos. 179 through 182. Had I been present, I would have voted:
  Roll Call No. 179: YES--On Ordering the Previous Question; Roll Call 
No. 180: YES--On Agreeing to the Resolution; Roll Call No. 181: NO--On 
Motion to Recommit with Instructions; and Roll Call No. 182: YES--On 
Passage.
