                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. GIBBONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to explain how I would have 
voted on June 19, 2006 during rollcall votes Nos. 289 and 290 during 
the second section of the 109th Congress. My flight into Washington was 
delayed because of weather.
  Rollcall vote No. 289 was on the motion to suspend the rules and pass 
H.R. 5540.
  Rollcall vote No. 290 was on the motion to suspend the rules and pass 
H.R. 5504.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on both of these 
rollcall votes.
