[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 154 (2008), Part 10] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 14142] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]PERSONAL EXPLANATION ______ HON. HENRY C. ``HANK'' JOHNSON, JR. of georgia in the house of representatives Thursday, June 26, 2008 Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I regret that I was unable to vote on the evening of Wednesday, the 25th of June. Had I been present, I would have voted: ``Yea'' on rollcall vote No. 460, the H.R. 3195, the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act of 2008, which restores the intent and protections of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. I deeply regret that I was unable to vote in support of an issue which I feel very strongly about. And I remain proud of this body, under the leadership of the Speaker and Majority leader, in guaranteeing that tens of millions of Americans with disabilities now enjoy equal rights under the law while being empowered to better our nation with their incredible, inherent talents without fear of discrimination or bias. ____________________
