                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. PASCRELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to offer a personal explanation. 
Earlier today, I was unavoidably detained on rollcall votes 570, 571, 
and 572 due to a prior obligation in my district. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote 570 (H. Con. Res. 260, 
Recognizing the 40th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council's 
Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions, 
Nostra Aetate, and the continuing need for mutual inter-religious 
respect and dialogue), ``yea'' on rollcall vote 571 (H.R. 1973, The 
Water for the Poor Act of 2005) and ``yea'' on rollcall vote 571 (H. 
Res. 444, Gynecological Resolution for Advancement of Ovarian Cancer 
Education).
