                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 26, 2003

  Mr. SAXTON. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, June 25, 2003, I was unable to 
cast my vote for rollcall numbers 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, and 317 due 
to the fact that I was attending a funeral for my dear friend from 
Arizona, Representative Bob Stump.
  Had I been presented, I would have voted ``aye'' for all 6 votes.
