                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. LARSON of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, I would like to submit this 
statement for the Record and regret that I could not be present today, 
Thursday, May 12, 2005, to vote on rollcall vote Nos. 169 and 170 due 
to a family medical emergency.
  Had I been present, I would have voted: ``No'' on rollcall vote No. 
169 on an amendment to H.R. 1544 to limit the number of Urban Area 
Security Initiative grants during any given fiscal year to 50; and 
``aye'' on rollcall vote No. 170 on passage of H.R. 1544--Faster & 
Smarter Funding for First Responders Act of 2005.
