                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. GENE GREEN

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 1, 2004

  Mr. GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, on Thursday May 13, 2004, I was 
unable to be present for the final two votes of the week, rollcall vote 
No. 175 on House Concurrent Resolution 414 and rollcall vote No. 176 on 
House Joint Resolution 91.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on both rollcall No. 
175 and No. 176.
  I strongly support House Concurrent Resolution 414, which expresses 
the sense of Congress that all Americans are encouraged to observe the 
anniversary of Brown vs. Board of Education with a commitment to 
continuing and building on the legacy of Brown.
  I also strongly support House Joint Resolution 91, which recognizes 
the 60th anniversary of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, 
legislation which has been of great benefit to the Nation's men and 
women of the Armed Forces.
