                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. TERRY EVERETT

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 3, 2000

  Mr. EVERETT. Mr. Speaker, on March 28th and 29th, I was with my wife 
Barbara who underwent major surgery at John Hopkins University 
Hospital, and was unable to vote in favor of the Emergency Supplemental 
Appropriations bill for fiscal year 2000. I am pleased that this 
legislation was adopted by the House to provide needed funds to restore 
critical national security readiness items that must be replenished, 
due to the military's high operating tempo in Kosovo and other 
contingency operations around the world.
  Had I been present, I would have cast my vote accordingly: Roll 81--
(Rule)--yes; roll 82--(Sanford Amendment)--no; roll 83--(Toomey 
Amendment)--yes; roll 84--(Obey Amendment)--no; roll 85--(Lewis 
Amendment)--yes; roll 86--(Ramstad Amendment)--no; roll 87--(Gilman 
Amendment)--yes; roll 88--(Fowler Amendment)--yes; roll 89--(Kasich 
Amendment)--yes; roll 90--(Weldon Amendment)--yes; roll 91--(Stearns 
Amendment)--yes; roll 92--(Paul Amendment)--no; roll 93--(Tancredo 
Amendment)--yes; roll 94--(Motion to Recommit)--no; and roll 95--(Final 
Passage)--yes.
