                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 14, 2005

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise to offer a personal explanation. 
Last Thursday, I was unable to vote on tabling the motion on H. Res. 
591, a resolution raising a question of the privileges of the House 
(rollcall No. 622), due to an unavoidable commitment in New Jersey. Had 
I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall vote 622.
