                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. HOWARD COBLE

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 17, 2003

  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, June 16, 2003, I missed rollcall 
votes 276-278. Had I been present on this date, I would have voted 
``aye'' on all rollcall Nos. 276, 277, 278. On this date, my flight 
coming back to Washington, DC, was canceled due to inclement weather 
and I was not able to get back to town in time for these votes.
