                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. CHARLES F. BASS

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 24, 2005

  Mr. BASS. Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, June 23, 2005, owing to an 
important family matter, I regrettably missed recorded vote numbered 
307, on the Bradley amendment to H.R. 3010. This amendment would add 
critical Federal support for grants to States to carry out the 
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
  As a constant and long time supporter of meeting the Federal 
Government's share of IDEA funding, had I been present, I would have 
voted ``yea'' on this measure.
