                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TODD TIAHRT

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 9, 2004

  Mr. TIAHRT. Mr. Speaker, on June 8, 2004 I was unavoidably detained 
in France for the D-Day ceremonies and missed Rollcall ``votes Nos. 229 
and 230. Rollcall 229 was on agreeing to the resolution for H. Res. 
663, expressing the profound regret and sorrow of the House of 
Representatives on the death of Ronald Wilson Reagan, former President 
of the United States of America. I also missed rollcall vote No. 230, 
approving the Journal. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' 
on both H. Res. 663 and approving the Journal. I would ask that my 
statement appear in the appropriate location in the Congressional 
Record.
