                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. TIMOTHY V. JOHNSON

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 23, 2008

  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Madam Speaker, unfortunately last night, 
September 22, 2008, I was unable to cast my votes on H.R. 6685, H.R. 
1907, and H.R. 6853 and wish the Record to reflect my intentions had I 
been able to vote.
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 616, on suspending the rules and 
passing H.R. 6685, to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to 
provide an annual grant to facilitate an iron working training program 
for Native Americans, I would have voted ``yea.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 617, on suspending the rules and 
passing H.R. 1907, the Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program 
Act, I would have voted ``yea.''
  Had I been present for rollcall No. 618, on suspending the rules and 
passing H.R. 6853, the Nationwide Mortgage Fraud Coordinator Act of 
2008, I would have voted ``yea.''
