                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. CHARLES B. RANGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 12, 2006

  Mr. RANGEL. Mr. Speaker, I would like to offer a personal explanation 
of the reason I missed Rollcall vote No. 433 on Thursday, September 7, 
2006. This bill concerns H.R. 503, the ``American Horse Slaughter 
Prevention Act''. I was hosting a crime forum (``Crime in the Cities: 
America's Mayors Fight Back'') as part of the 36th Annual Congressional 
Black Caucus Legislative Conference.
  I would have voted in favor of the bill (``aye'').

                          ____________________
