                         Tuesday, June 1, 2004

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise to offer a personal explanation. On 
May 20, I was en route to my congressional district for official 
business during rollcall votes 208 and 209. Had I been present, I would 
have voted ``yes'' on rollcall vote 208 and ``no'' on rollcall vote 
209.
