                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. KILPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, due to personal reasons, I was unable to 
attend several votes today. Had I been present, I would have voted 
``yea'' on H. Res. 1067--Recognizing the 50th anniversary of the 
crossing of the North Pole by the USS Nautilus, SSN 571, and its 
significance in the history of both our Nation and the world; ``yea'' 
on H. Res 1080-- Honoring the extraordinary service and exceptional 
sacrifice of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), known as the 
Screaming Eagles; and ``yea'' on H. Con. Res. 297--Recognizing the 60th 
anniversary of the integration of the United States Armed Forces.
