                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, due to official 
business in the 30th Congressional District, I was unable to record my 
vote on H.R. 3892, the English Language Fluency Act. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``nay'' on final passage on this measure. 
In addition, I would have voted ``nay'' on both the Martinez and Riggs 
Amendments to H.R. 3892.
