                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. COOPER. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably absent on Thursday 
afternoon and Friday morning. Had I been present for rollcall 40, I 
would have voted ``yea'' on H.R. 6, a bill I proudly cosponsored that 
will improve America's energy independence and financial situation.
  Had I been present for rollcall 42, I would have voted ``yea'' on 
H.R. 475.
