                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. NETHERCUTT. Mr. Speaker, due to a family emergency, I was 
unavoidably absent on January 8, 2003. I ask the Record to reflect 
that, had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote 
7, final passage of S. 23, the Unemployment Insurance Benefits 
Extension Act.
