                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. KEVIN BRADY

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 27, 2005

  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I regret that I missed rollcall 
votes No. 133 and No. 134 on April 26, 2005, and rollcall vote No. 140 
on April 27, 2005. On April 26, 2005, I was returning from Texas after 
attending a Social Security workshop in Galveston with President Bush 
and on April 27, 2005, I was at the White House meeting with President 
Bush.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall vote No. 
133, a Motion to Instruct Conferees on H.R. 1268, a bill making 
emergency supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year ending 
September 30, 2005, and for other purposes; I would have voted ``no'' 
on rollcall vote No. 134, a Motion to Instruct Conferees on H. Con. 
Res. 95, the Congressional Budget Resolution for Fiscal Year 2006; and 
I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall vote No. 140, a Motion to 
Recommit H. Res. 22, expressing the sense of the House of 
Representatives that American small businesses are entitled to a Small 
Business Bill of Rights
