                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DARRELL E. ISSA

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 10, 2009

  Mr. ISSA. Madam Speaker, on Wednesday, July 8, 2009, the House voted 
on final passage of H.R. 2965, the ``Enhancing Small Business Research 
and Innovation Act of 2009,'' rollcall No. 486.
  My vote was recorded as ``no'' but in keeping with my past votes on 
the Small Business Research and Innovation Act, my vote should have 
been a ``yes.'' The Small Business Innovation Research Program and the 
Small Business Technology Transfer Program are critical to increasing 
small business research and project development capabilities, and I 
strongly support their continued funding.
