                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. DENISE L. MAJETTE

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Saturday, October 9, 2004

  Ms. MAJETTE. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to be in attendance for a 
number of rollcall votes taken on October 8, 2004. Had I been present I 
would have cast my votes as follows:
  ``No'' on rollcall No. 524; ``yes'' on rollcall No. 525; and ``no'' 
on rollcall No. 526.
  I was unable to be present for votes taken on October 9, 2004, 
however, I would have voted:
  ``Yes'' on final passage of conference report on H.R. 4200--Defense 
Authorization Act for FY 2005; ``yes'' on final passage of the 
conference report on H.R. 4837--Military Construction/Emergency 
Supplemental Appropriations; ``yes'' on the conference report on H.R. 
4567--Homeland Security Appropriations; and ``no'' on the Adjournment 
Resolution, because the 108th Congress should complete its work before 
it adjourns. The Republican-led Congress has failed to address the 
needs of middle class families. Republicans have failed to create jobs, 
end outsourcing, improve national security, lower health care costs, 
improve education, or protect our environment.
