                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, on May 23, 2001, I was unavoidably absent 
due to my attendance at a funeral in my district for Ms. Helen 
Savinski, a very dear and personal friend.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall votes 138, 
139, 140, 141, 142, 144, 145, 146 and 147, and voted ``nay'' on 
rollcall votes 135, 136, 137 and 143.
