                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. ED BRYANT

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 25, 2001

  Mr. BRYANT. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I was inadvertently delayed 
getting back to Washington from my district, and as a result missed 
Rollcall votes 349 and 350. Had I been present, I would have voted 
``yea'' on both votes. As an original co-sponsor of H.R. 717, I regret 
being unable to cast a vote in favor of this important legislation that 
will have a positive effect on those children who suffer from Duchenne 
muscular dystrophy.
