The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“PERSONAL EXPLANATION” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Energy was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on pages E1196 on June 12, 1997.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
PERSONAL EXPLANATION
______
HON. DANNY K. DAVIS
of illinois
in the house of representatives
Thursday, June 12, 1997
Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, June 11, 1997, I missed rollcall vote No. 178, as I was presenting an acknowledgment to students from the University of Illinois at Chicago who were participating in the Department of Energy's Future Car Challenge. I was unable to make it back to the Capitol in time to cast my vote. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall vote No. 178.
