                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL M. HONDA

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 8, 2003

  Mr. HONDA. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall Votes Nos. 109, 110, and 111, I 
was unavoidably detained with important matters in my district.
  As a result, I was unable to cast a vote on the measure to designate 
the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1901 West 
Evans Street in Florence, South Carolina, as the ``Dr. Roswell N. Beck 
Post Office Building,'' the measure expressing the sense of the House 
of Representatives that the month of April should be designated as 
``Financial Literacy for Youth Month'' and the measure to designate the 
facility of the United States Postal Service located at 7554 Pacific 
Avenue in Stockton, California, as the ``Norman D. Shumway Post Office 
Building.''
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall Vote No. 
109, ``aye'' on rollcall Vote No. 110 and ``aye'' on rollcall Vote No. 
111.
