                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 19, 2009

  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Madam Speaker, on rollcall No. 380, I was 
present the entire eight hours. Due to a apparent machine malfunction, 
I was not recorded as voting. This amendment is both fiscally 
responsible and addresses another excess in spending that continues to 
drive upward our national debt, crippling current economic growth and 
saddling future generations with an unacceptable burden which will 
strangle taxpayers and reduce critical essential benefits to social 
services, especially seniors.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye.''
