                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MIKE McINTYRE

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 19, 2001

  Mr. McINTYRE. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall Nos. 499 and 500, I was absent 
since I was unavoidably detained because of a security breach at the 
Charlotte Douglas Airport, which caused me to be unexpectedly re-routed 
through another airport on a later flight.
  This occurred on Tuesday, December 18, 2001. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``yea.''
