                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. FARR. Madam Speaker, this morning I had the privilege of 
attending the funeral ceremony for Col. Dan Devlin and his wife 
Darlene. They were interred at Arlington National Cemetery with full 
honors. Col. Devlin had served as Commandant at the Defense Language 
Institute in Monterey in my district.
  However, while I was at the funeral I missed four votes. Had I been 
here I would have voted in this way: ``Yes'' on H.R. 1514, the Juvenile 
Accountability Block Grant Program Reauthorization; ``yes'' on H.R. 
5325, the America COMPETES Reauthorization; ``yes'' on H. Res. 1325, 
Recognizing National Missing Childrens Day; and ``yes'' on H. Res. 
1362, to commend the life of Lena Horne.
