                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, due to a family illness, I was absent 
from this Chamber today.
  I would like the Record to show that, had I been present, I would 
have voted ``nay'' on rollcall vote 499. I would have also voted 
``yea'' on rollcall 497, 498, 500, and 501.
