[Congressional Record Volume 155, Number 39 (Thursday, March 5, 2009)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E575] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] PERSONAL EXPLANATION ______ HON. DIANE E. WATSON of california in the house of representatives Thursday, March 5, 2009 Ms. WATSON. Madam Speaker, I was unavoidably absent from the Chamber during the evening of Monday, February 23, 2009. As a result, I was unable to cast my vote on rollcall No. 73, which occurred on the motion to suspend the rules and pass H.R. 44, the Guam World War II Loyalty Recognition Act. Had I been present I would have voted ``yea,'' and also ask that the record reflect my strong support for the enactment of H.R. 44 and the fact that I am an original cosponsor of this bill which was reintroduced by our colleague from Guam, Ms. Bordallo, on January 6, 2009. ____________________
