  Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, I was unable to attend two 
votes last night due to official business, hosting a paying for college 
workshop in my district.
  I obtained an excused absence for this event, and I ask unanimous 
consent to include this personal explanation in the Record.
  On February 5, 2007, I was unable to be present for rollcall votes 
No. 74 and No. 75.
  On rollcall vote No. 74 to suspend the rules and agree to the 
resolution regarding National Consumer Protection Week, I would have 
voted ``aye.''
  On rollcall vote No. 75 to suspend the rules and agree to the 
resolution supporting the goals and ideals of National Black HIV/AIDS 
Awareness Day, I would have voted ``aye.''
