                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. COLLINS. Mr. Speaker, for security reasons our delegation trip 
departed prior to the conclusion of legislative business. Had I been 
present for the conclusion of legislative business, I would have voted 
``nay'' on the Motion to Recommit (rollcall No. 29), and ``yea'' on 
Final Passage (rollcall No. 30) of H.R. 4--Personal Responsibility, 
Work and Family Promotion Act of 2003.
  In addition, Mr. Speaker, I would have voted ``nay'' on the Motion to 
Recommit (rollcall No. 31), and ``yea'' on Final Passage (rollcall No. 
32) of H.J. Res. 2--the Fiscal Year 2003 appropriations Conference 
Report.
