                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JIM McDERMOTT

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 4, 2002

  Mr. McDERMOTT. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to be in Washington, DC 
today because I was attending a memorial service for Marc Lindenberg. 
Mr. Lindenberg was the dean at the University of Washington's Daniel 
Evans School of Public Affairs. Throughout his life, he was a 
passionate and potent leader in international relief work. Those that 
knew him, or were touched by his work, will truly miss Mr. Lindenberg, 
but we find solace knowing that the legacy he leaves behind will 
endure.
  Mr. Speaker, I missed six votes.
  Had I been able to vote, I would have voted in support of: H.R. 4800, 
H.R. 4823, H.R. 4466, H.R. 3983, H.R. 4073, and H.R. 2941.
