                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. TERRY EVERETT

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 24, 2007

  Mr. EVERETT. Madam Speaker, during consideration of the Labor/HHS/
Education Appropriations Bill (H.R. 3043), I incorrectly voted no on 
the Pence Amendment. During the rapidity of voting on the series of 13 
amendments to this bill, I mistakenly voted against Congressman Pence's 
amendment that would have prohibited funds in the bill from funding the 
Planned Parenthood Federation of America or any of its affiliates. It 
was my full intention to vote for this amendment, as I have been and 
continue to be a strong advocate of pro-life issues and legislation. My 
voting record makes it apparently clear that I have never wavered in my 
support of pro-life legislation. In closing, I fully support 
Congressman Pence's amendment to H.R. 3043, and I will continue to vote 
in favor of pro-life legislation as I have done throughout my 14 years 
in Congress.
