                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. PASCRELL. Madam Speaker, today, July 24th, I had an unexpected 
emergency that required me to return to my Congressional District and I 
regretfully missed the last two rollcall votes of the day. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote No. 532 on 
agreeing to the resolution H. Res. 1368--Relating to the House 
procedures contained in section 803 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, 
Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003. Had I been present I would 
have also voted ``yea'' on rollcall vote No. 533 On Motion to Suspend 
the Rules and Agree, as Amended to H. Res. 1296--National Child 
Awareness Month.
