                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, earlier today, I was unavoidably absent 
during rollcall votes 537, 538 and 539. Had I been present, I would 
have voted ``yea'' on rollcall 537 to provide for the House to adjourn 
for the August District Work Period; ``yea'' on rollcall 538 on the 
Veterans Disability Benefits Claims Modernization Act; and ``yea'' on 
rollcall 539 calling on the Government of the People's Republic of 
China to immediately end abuses of the human rights of its citizens.
