                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JAMES L. OBERSTAR

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 2, 2009

  Mr. OBERSTAR. Madam Speaker, during the consideration of H.R. 1664, 
Pay for Performance Act, I inadvertently voted ``aye'' on the Bean 
Amendment (rollcall vote 180). I had intended to vote ``nay,'' and want 
the record to reflect that I share Chairman Frank's concerns that this 
amendment, which would exempt recipients of TARP capital investments 
from the bill's requirements while taxpayer funds were still 
outstanding, is contrary to the intent of the bill.
