                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. KILPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, due to official business in the 15th 
Congressional District of Michigan, I was unable to record my votes for 
rollcall Nos. 574, 575, and 576 considered today in the U.S. House of 
Representatives. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall No. 574, H. Res. 94, Recognizing the Generous Contribution 
made by Each Living Person Who has Donated a Kidney to Save a Life, 
``aye'' on rollcall No. 575, To Amend the Ethics in Government Act of 
1978 to Reauthorize Funding for the Office of Government Ethics and 
``aye'' on rollcall No. 576, H. Res. 344, Recognizing and Honoring 
Payne Stuart and Expressing the Condolences of the House of 
Representatives to His Family on his Death and to the Families of Those 
Who Died With Him.
