                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT MENENDEZ

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 20, 2005

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I was absent from votes in the House on 
Tuesday, April 19, due to a previous and unavoidable commitment. 
Therefore, I was unable to vote on H.R. 683 (rollcall No. 109), H.J. 
Res. 19 (rollcall No. 110), and H.J. Res. 20 (rollcall No. 111). Had I 
been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on all three measures 
considered before the House.
