                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. SHAYS. Madam Speaker, on April 23, 2007, I was in Connecticut to 
meet with constituents and, therefore, missed 3 recorded votes.
  I take my voting responsibility very seriously. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``yes'' on recorded vote number 245; ``yes'' on 
recorded vote 246; and ``yes'' on recorded vote 247.
