                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TODD TIAHRT

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 29, 2004

  Mr. TIAHRT. Mr. Speaker, on September 28th, I was unavoidably 
detained and missed rollcall vote No. 473. Rollcall vote No. 473 was 
Representative Pelosi's Motion to Instruct Conferees on the DOD 
Authorization Act. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on the 
motion to instruct. I would ask that my statement appear in the 
appropriate location in the Congressional Record.
