                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. GUTKNECHT. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably absent from the House 
on November 7, 2005 due to an important meeting I had with the New 
Zealand Ambassador in St. Paul, Minnesota. During this meeting, the 
Ambassador and I discussed agricultural trade issues.
  Had I been present in the House, I would have voted ``yea'' on the 
following bills: H. Con. Res. 260, H.R. 1973, and H. Res. 444.
