                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DENNIS MOORE

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 1, 2001

  Mr. MOORE. Mr. Speaker, on February 28, 2001, 1 was unavoidably 
detained away from the House floor; as a result I missed two recorded 
votes.
  Had I been present, I would have voted aye on rollcall #17, passage 
of H.R. 256, legislation that would extend Chapter 12 federal 
bankruptcy protection for farmers retroactive to July 1, 2000, and 
through June 1, 2001. 1 also would have voted aye on rollcall #18, a 
bill that would designate a U.S. courthouse in Allentown, Pennsylvania, 
as the ``Edwin N. Cahn Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse.''
