                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. CHARLES F. BASS

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 24, 2005

  Mr. BASS. Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, June 23, 2005, owing to an 
important family matter, I regrettably missed recorded vote numbered 
305, on the Obey amendment to H.R. 3010. This amendment would restore 
critical Federal support for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
  As a constant and long time supporter of public broadcasting, had I 
been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on this measure.
