                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. POMBO. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to vote today on the House 
floor. I take my responsibility to vote very seriously.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall 179; 
``yea'' on rollcall 180, or H. Res. 380, the Rule for consideration of 
H.R. 5384, making appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, 
Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies for the fiscal year 
ending September 30, 2007; and ``yea'' on rollcall 181, or H.R. 4681, 
the Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act. On March 9, 2006 I joined 295 of my 
colleagues in the House in support of H.R. 4681.
