                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. KILPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, personal reasons prevented me from being 
present for legislative business scheduled for today, Tuesday, June 8, 
2004. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on H. Res. 663, a 
privileged bereavement resolution for former President Ronald W. Reagan 
(Rollcall vote No. 229), and ``aye'' on approving the Journal (Rollcall 
vote No. 230).
