                        Wednesday, July 14, 2004

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise to offer a personal explanation. On 
Monday, July 12, I was unavoidably detained on Amtrak for over 7 hours, 
due to bad weather, while traveling back for votes on rollcall Nos. 
359-362. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall 
vote 359, ``no'' on rollcall vote 360, and ``yea'' on rollcall votes 
361 and 362.
