                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. BOB RILEY

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 12, 2001

  Mr. RILEY. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained for Rollcall No. 
483, H. Con. Res. 281, honoring the ultimate sacrifice made by Johnny 
Micheal Spann, the first American killed in combat during the war 
against terrorism in Afghanistan, and pledging continued support for 
members of the Armed Forces. Had I been present I would have voted 
``yea.''
  I was also unavoidably detained for Rollcall No. 484, H.R. 3282, to 
designate the Federal building and United States courthouse located at 
400 North Main Street in Butte, Montana, as the ``Mike Mansfield 
Federal Building and United States Courthouse.'' Had I been present I 
would have voted ``yea.''
  I was also unavoidably detained for Rollcall No. 485, H.R. 10, the 
Railroad Retirement Act. Had I been present I would have voted ``yea.''

                          ____________________
