                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOHN LINDER

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 26, 2005

  Mr. LINDER. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to cast rollcall votes 415 and 
416 on July 22, 2005, because I was unavoidably detained on official 
business with President George W. Bush in Atlanta, Georgia, at a 
roundtable discussion on retirement security for future generations of 
Americans. I was also unable to cast rollcall votes 417, 418, and 419 
on July 25, 2005, as I was traveling on official legislative/policy 
business. Had I been present I would have cast the following votes: On 
rollcall No. 415, I would have voted ``no''; on rollcall No. 416, I 
would have voted ``yes''; on rollcall No. 417, I would have voted 
``yes''; on rollcall No. 418, I would have voted ``yes''; and on 
rollcall No. 419, I would have voted ``yes.''
