                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JEFF MILLER

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 22, 2004

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I would like to offer a personal 
explanation of the reason I missed rollcall votes Nos. 276-278 on June 
22, 2004. These were suspension votes H. Res. 591--expressing the sense 
that a month should be designated Community Banking Month, H.R. 4363--
Helping Hands for Homeownership Act of 2004, and H. Res. 660--
Congratulating Randy Johnson on his perfect game. At the time these 
votes were called, my flight from my Congressional District to 
Washington, DC was diverted due to weather and I was thereby delayed en 
route to Washington, DC.
  I respectfully request that it be entered into the Congressional 
Record that if present, I would have voted rollcall vote No. 276, 
expressing the sense that a month should be designated Community 
Banking Month, --``aye''; rollcall vote No. 277, on Prostate Cancer 
Awareness, ``aye''; rollcall vote No. 277, on Helping Hands for 
Homeownership Act of 2004, ``aye''; and rollcall vote No. 278, 
Congratulating Randy Johnson on his perfect game, ``aye.''
