                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. BARRETT of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, due to a meeting with 
President Bush at the White House, I unfortunately missed three 
recorded votes on the House floor earlier today.
  I ask that the Record reflect that had I not been unavoidably 
detained at this meeting, I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall vote 
No. 312 (Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass S. 858); ``yes'' on 
rollcall vote No. 313 (Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass H.R. 2474); 
and ``yes'' on rollcall vote No. 314 (Motion to Suspend the Rules and 
Pass H.J. Res. 49).
