                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. CHRISTOPHER SHAYS

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 30, 2004

  Mr. SHAYS. Mr. Speaker, on March 29, I was in New York City for 
meetings to discuss a number of homeland security issues with various 
officials and, therefore, missed two recorded votes.
  I take my voting responsibility very seriously and would like the 
Congressional Record to reflect that, had I been present, I would have 
voted. ``yes'' on recorded vote No. 94 and ``yes'' on recorded vote 95.
