                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RALPH REGULA

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 9, 2006

  Mr. REGULA. Mr. Speaker, I was present and voting during the series 
of rolled votes that included rollcall No. 233, for passage of a bill 
introduced by my colleague Representative LaTourette. The bill, I 
believe reasonably addressed the impasse in labor contract negotiations 
between our Nation's air traffic controllers and the Federal Aviation 
Administration by creating procedural fairness and encouraging good 
faith bargaining for both parties. While I attempted to vote ``yea'' on 
the bill, the electronic voting system did not record the vote I 
intended to cast. I ask that the record reflect that had my vote been 
recorded, it would have been ``yea'' on rollcall No. 233.
