                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. KILPATRICK. Madam Speaker, due to official business in the 15th 
Congressional District of Michigan, I was unable to record my vote for 
several measures considered today in the U.S. House of Representatives. 
Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on roll call no. 96, 
H.R. 1089, the Mutual Fund Tax Awareness Act; and ``aye'' on roll call 
no. 97, H.R. 3591, to Award the Congressional Gold Medal to Former 
President Ronald Reagan And Nancy Reagan In Recognition Of Their 
Service To The Nation.

                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. TAYLOR of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, again due to a USAIR 
flight cancellation, I was unavoidably detained in North Carolina and 
unable to cast a vote on rollcall votes 96 and 97. Had I been present, 
I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote 96, On the Motion to 
Suspend the Rules and Pass, As Amended, H.R. 1089, the Mutual Fund Tax 
Awareness Act. I would have voted ``yea'' on roll call vote 97, On the 
Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass H.R. 3591, to award the 
Congressional gold medal to former President Ronald Reagan and his wife 
Nancy Reagan. I ask unanimous consent that the permanent record reflect 
these intended votes.
