                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. LEE TERRY

                              of nebraska

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 8, 2005

  Mr. TERRY. Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, March 3, 2005, I missed the vote 
on final passage of H.R. 841, the Continuity in Representation Act, 
rollcall 52. Because it was announced earlier that this vote would be 
conducted as a voice vote, I immediately left the House floor following 
the vote on the motion to recommit, so that I could make a flight to my 
District. Later in the day, I learned Ms. Millender-McDonald demanded a 
recorded vote on the question of passage of the bill.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on the final passage 
of H.R. 841.
