                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. SHOWS. Mr. Speaker, on October 30, 2001, I missed roll call votes 
408, 409, 410, and 411 because I was in my congressional district on 
official business and to attend the funeral of a lifelong friend.
  Had I been present, I would have voted yea on all four votes.
