                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. KILPATRICK. Madam Speaker, due to official business in the 15th 
Congressional District of Michigan, I was unable to record my votes for 
rollcall Nos. 16 and 17 considered today. Had I been present, I would 
have voted ``aye'' on rollcall 16, H. Con. Res. 247, Expressing the 
Sense of Congress Regarding the Importance of Organ, Tissue, Bone 
Marrow, and Blood Donation and Supporting National Donor Day and 
``aye'' on rollcall No. 17, H. Con. Res. 76, Recognizing The Social 
Problem of Child Abuse and Neglect and Supporting Efforts to Enhance 
Public Awareness of it.
