                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. KILPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, official business requires my presence 
in the 15th Congressional District of Michigan today. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``Aye'' on Rollcall No. 387, H. Con. Res. 
248, expressing the sense of Congress that public schools may display 
the words ``God Bless America'' as an expression of support for the 
nation; ``Aye'' on Rollcall No. 388, H. Con. Res. 317, which recognizes 
the 15th Anniversary of the ANZUS Treaty; and ``Aye'' on Rollcall No. 
389, H.R. 2272, the Coral Reef and Coastal Marine Conservation Act.
