                      Thursday, September 6, 2001

  Mr. ETHERIDGE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to offer a personal explanation. 
Yesterday, I was absent from the Chamber as I attended the funeral of 
Liston Ramsey, the late Speaker of the North Carolina House of 
Representatives. During that time, I was not present to vote on Roll 
Call Votes 333 and 334. Had I been present, I would have voted Yes on 
both. I ask that my statement be submitted in the appropriate place in 
the Record.
