                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DENNIS MOORE

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 24, 2003

  Mr. MOORE. Mr. Chairman, I was unavoidably detained due to a U.S. 
Airways plane malfunction and missed rollcall vote No. 357, the 
Ackerman-LaTourette amendment to the Agriculture appropriations bill 
which would require that the USDA expend no funds to approve meat from 
downed animals--animals that are too sick to walk or stand--for food. 
Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.''
