                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

   Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, on the afternoon of 
January 22, 2009, I was unable to vote due to illness and missed three 
rollcall votes. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on 
rollcall No. 27, H.J. Res. 3, a resolution to disapprove the use of the 
second $350 billion of the funds that were made available to the 
Secretary of the Treasury under the Emergency Economic Stabilization 
Act of 2008; ``yea'' on rollcall No. 28, on agreeing to H. Res. 56, 
expressing support for designation of the week of February 2 through 
February 6, 2009, as ``National School Counseling Week''; and ``yea'' 
on rollcall No. 29, on passage of H. Res. 58, commending the University 
of Florida Gators for winning the Bowl Championship Series National 
Championship Game.
