                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. DARRELL E. ISSA-

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 10, 2009

  Mr. ISSA. Madam Speaker, on Wednesday, July 8, 2009, the House voted 
on final passage of H.R. 2965, the ``Enhancing Small Business Research 
and Innovation Act of 2009,'' rollcall No. 486.
  My vote was recorded as ``no'' but in keeping with my past votes on 
the Small Business Research and Innovation Act, my vote should have 
been a ``yes.'' The Small Business Innovation Research Program and the 
Small Business Technology Transfer Program are critical to increasing 
small business research and project development capabilities, and I 
strongly support their continued funding.
