                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. VERNON J. EHLERS

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 15, 2004

  Mr. EHLERS. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 232-242, I was detained by a 
meeting with Secretary of Commerce Donald Evans and his newly appointed 
Manufacturers Advisory Council, at which I spoke. The delay was 
compounded by an airline delay which prevented me from voting on the 
last three rollcall votes, on all of which I would have voted ``no.''
  Had I been present, I would have voted as follows: rollcall No. 232, 
``yes''; rollcall No. 233, ``yes''; rollcall No. 234, ``yes''; rollcall 
No. 235, ``yes''; rollcall No. 236, ``yes''; rollcall No. 237, ``yes''; 
rollcall No. 238, ``yes''; rollcall No. 239, ``yes''; rollcall No. 240, 
``no''; rollcall No. 241, ``no''; and rollcall No. 242, ``no'';
