                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I was returning from an official delegation 
trip to Iraq on Monday evening, and was absent from the House floor 
during the rollcall votes on S.J. Res. 22, recognizing the Agricultural 
Research Service, S.J. Res. 18, commending the service of Inspectors 
General; and H. Con. Res. 299, honoring Sargent Shriver. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``aye'' on each of these resolutions.
