                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. CHARLES H. TAYLOR

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 28, 2005

  Mr. TAYLOR of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I voted ``no'' on the 
Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement, DR-CAFTA, in 
the vote last night. I informed the majority leader and the 
Appropriations chairman I was voting ``no'', as I had informed my 
constituents I was voting ``no.'' Representative Howard Coble and I 
voted ``no'' together. Due to an error, my ``no'' vote did not record 
on the voting machine. The clerks computer logs verified that I had 
attempted to vote, but it did not show my ``nay''. I am re-inserting my 
``no'' vote in the record. But even with my ``no'' vote re-inserted, 
the bill still passed.
