                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. POMBO. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to vote today on the House 
floor. I take my responsibility to vote very seriously and would like 
my intentions included in the Congressional Record.
  I had been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on S. 1235, Veterans' 
Benefits Improvement Act of 2005.
  Additionally, had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on H.R. 
3858, the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act of 2005.
