                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DOUG BEREUTER

                              of nebraska

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 24, 2001

  Mr. BEREUTER. Mr. Speaker, on May 23, 2001, a visit to the Vice 
President's residence away from Capital Hill caused me to unavoidably 
miss rollcall vote no. 146 (motion to instruct conferees on H.R. 1836, 
the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act). Had I been 
present I would have voted ``no.''
