                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. STEPHANIE HERSETH

                            of south dakota

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 20, 2006

  Ms. HERSETH. Mr. Speaker, I regret that I was unable to participate 
in votes on the floor of the House of Representatives on June 19, 2006. 
I was absent to attend a Veterans' Affairs Committee hearing in South 
Dakota. I submit this statement today to establish for the record how I 
would have voted had I been present for these votes.
  On June 19, 2006, the House of Representatives held three votes.
  The first vote was on a motion to suspend the rules and agree to the 
H.R. 5540, to designate the Sergeant Jacob Dan Dones Post Office. Had I 
been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on that question.
  The second vote was on motion to suspend the rules and agree to the 
H.R. 5504, to designate the Larry Winn, Jr. Post Office Building. Had I 
been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on that question.
  The third vote was on a motion to suspend the rules and agree to the 
H. Res. 826, a resolution expressing the sense of the House of 
Representatives that a National Youth Sports Week should be 
established. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on that 
question.
