                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______


                         HON. LUIS V. GUTIERREZ

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 22, 1994

  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, at the end of the afternoon yesterday, 
March 21, 1994, I was unavoidably absent because I was on my way back 
from El Salvador, where I had the privilege to participate in the U.S. 
Citizens Observer Mission monitoring the El Salvador election, the 
first election held in this country since the peace accords were signed 
in 1992. I therefore missed one rollcall vote on H.R. 6, Improving 
America's Schools Act. More specifically, I missed rollcall vote No. 
73, to strike the title of the bill that reauthorizes bilingual 
education programs, on which I would have voted ``no.''
