                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably absent on a matter of 
critical importance and missed the following votes:
  On H.R. 2952, to redesignate the facility of the U.S. Postal Service 
in Greenville, South Carolina as the Keith D. Oglesby Station, 
introduced by the gentleman from South Carolina, Mr. DeMint, I would 
have voted ``yea.''
  On H.R. 3018, to designate the U.S. postal office located at 557 East 
Bay Street in Charleston, South Carolina as the Marybelle H. Howe Post 
Office introduced by the gentleman from South Carolina, Mr. Clyburn, I 
would have voted ``yea.''
  On H.R. 1827, the Government Waste Corrections Act, introduced by the 
gentleman from Indiana, Mr. Burton, I would have voted ``yea.''
