                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. XAVIER BECERRA

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 11, 2006

  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, July 10, 2006, I was unable to 
cast my floor vote on rollcall numbers 358 and 359. The votes I missed 
included motions to suspend the rules and pass H.R. 2463 and H.R. 5061 
respectively. The former authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to 
conduct feasibility studies to address certain water shortages within 
the Snake, Boise, and Payette River systems in Idaho, while the latter 
is the Paint Bank and Wytheville National Fish Hatcheries Conveyance 
Act.
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall votes 358 and 359.
