                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. SAM GRAVES

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 17, 2006

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I would like to state for the record my 
position on the following votes I missed due to reasons beyond my 
control.
  On Thursday July 13, 2006 I had to tend to some family matters and 
thus missed rollcall votes Nos. 370, 371, 372, 373 and 374. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yea'' on all votes.
  On Monday June 19, 2006 I was unavoidably delayed and thus missed 
rollcall votes Nos. 289, 290 and 291. Had I been present, I would have 
voted ``yea'' on all votes.
  On Monday May 22, 2006 I was unavoidably delayed and thus missed 
rollcall votes Nos. 177 and 178. Had I been present, I would have voted 
``yea'' on both votes.

                          ____________________
