                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 15, 2002

  Mr. TIAHRT. Mr. Speaker, on Friday, July 12, I was unavoidably 
detained and missed roll call vote numbered 295.
  Rollcall vote 295 was on passage of H.R. 4687, legislation which 
would provide for the establishment of investigative teams to assess 
building performance and emergency response and evacuation procedures 
in the wake of any building failure that has resulted in substantial 
loss of life or that posed significant potential of substantial loss of 
life.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on this bill.
