                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to be present for rollcall 
votes Nos. 8, 9, 10, and 11. Had I been present I would have voted 
``yes'' or ``aye'' on rollcall votes 9 and 11. I would have voted 
``no'' or ``nay'' on rollcall votes 8 and 10.
