                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. GENE GREEN

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 3, 2010

  Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to offer an 
explanation of the three votes I missed yesterday. March 2, 2010 marked 
not only Texas Independence Day, but also the 2010 Texas primary, and I 
had previously committed to events in the district that forced me to 
miss my first three votes of the second session last night. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``aye'' on each of the following rollcall 
votes:
  Rollcall vote No. 75, on H. Res. 1072, Recognizing Louisiana State 
University for 150 years of service and excellence in higher education; 
rollcall vote No. 76, on H.R. 3820, the Natural Hazards Risk Reduction 
Act of 2009; and rollcall vote No. 77, on H. Res. 1097, Supporting the 
goals and ideals of National Engineers Week.
