                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mrs. BIGGERT. Mr. Speaker, today I joined President Bush in my home 
State of Illinois for a forum on Medicare. As a result, I missed a 
series of votes. Had I been present, I would have cast the following 
votes:
  ``Yes'' on the Previous question on the Rule for H.R. 2115, Flight 
100--Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act (roll No. 257); ``yes'' on 
Passage of the Rule for H.R. 2115, flight 100--Century of Aviation 
Reauthorization Act (roll No. 258); ``yes'' for H. Con. Res. 110, 
recognizing the sequencing of the human genome as one of the most 
significant scientific accomplishments of the past one hundred years 
and expressing support for the goals and ideals of Human Genome Month 
and DNA Day (roll No. 259); ``yes'' for H.R. 1320, the Commercial 
Spectrum Enhancement Act (roll No. 260); and ``yes'' for H.R. 2350, the 
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant program 
Reauthorization Act (roll No. 261).
