                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. KOPETSKI. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably away from Washington on 
Thursday, June 9, 1994, as my son, Matthew Alexander Kopetski, 
graduated from high school that evening and I was there.
  Had I been present to vote, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall 
222, the McCloskey amendment to H.R. 4301; ``aye'' on rollcall 223, the 
Hamilton amendment to H.R. 4301; ``no'' on rollcall 224, the Goss 
amendment to H.R. 4301; ``no'' on rollcall 225, the Michel motion to 
recommit H.R. 4301 with instructions; ``aye'' on rollcall 226, final 
passage of H.R. 4301; ``aye'' on rollcall 227, House Resolution 447; 
and ``aye'' on rollcall 228, House Resolution 450.
  Mr. Speaker, I was away from the floor on Monday, June 13, 1994. Had 
I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall 232, the Hunter 
amendment to H.R. 518; ``no'' on rollcall 233, the Vento amendment to 
H.R. 518.
  Today, as others have stated, I am on the Committee on Ways and Means 
and on Friday, June 17, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall No. 255, 
the vote on the motion to rise.
