                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. KILPATRICK of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, personal business prevents 
me from being present for legislative business scheduled for today, 
Monday, July 25, 2005. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' 
on H.J. Res. 59, expressing the sense of Congress concerning the 
establishment of an appropriate day for the commemoration of the women 
suffragists who fought for and won the right of women to vote in the 
United States (rollcall No. 417); ``yea'' on H. Con. Res. 181, 
supporting the goals and ideals of National Life Insurance Awareness 
Month (rollcall No. 418); and ``yea'' on H.R. 2977, designating the 
``Abraham Lincoln Birthplace Post Office Building'' (rollcall No. 419).
