                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. BOB RILEY

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 22, 2001

  Mr. RILEY. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained for rollcall No. 
126, H. Con. Res. 56, Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding 
National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. Had I been present for this vote 
I would have voted in favor of H. Con. Res. 56.
  I was also unavoidably detained for rollcall No. 127, H.R. 1885, To 
expand the class of beneficiaries who may apply for adjustment of 
status under section 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act by 
extending the deadline for classification petition and labor 
certification filings, and for other purposes. Had I been present for 
this vote I would have voted against H.R. 1885.
