                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to be present for rollcall 
votes 255 through 266 last week due to a death in my family.
  Had I been present I would have voted ``yea'' or ``aye'' on roll call 
votes 255, 256, 257, 258, 260, 261, 263, 264, and 265, and ``nay'' or 
``no'' on rollcall votes 259, 262, and 266.
