                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JEFF FLAKE

                               of arizona

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 5, 2005

  Mr. FLAKE. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I voted ``Yes'' on H.R. 366, the 
Vocational and Technical Education for the Future Act. My ``Yes'' vote 
was entirely the result of an error on my part. For the record, I 
intended to cast a ``No'' vote against H.R. 366. I do not believe that 
vocational and technical educational grants falls within the proper 
scope of the federal government.
  Unfortunately, I did not realize that I had voted incorrectly until 
after the vote was concluded.
