                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JOHN CONYERS, JR.

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 5, 2007

  Mr. CONYERS. Madam Speaker, yesterday, I mistakenly voted against H. 
Res. 37, providing for the concurrence by the House in the Senate 
amendment to H.R. 710, with amendments. In fact, I support this 
critical legislation, which would make paired kidney donation legal and 
allow organizations like the United Network for Organ Sharing to track 
eligibility for paired donation.
  I voted for passage of the original bill, H.R. 710, The Charlie 
Norwood Living Organ Donation Act, on March 7, 2007.
