                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______


                            HON. JIM NUSSLE

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, August 3, 1994

  Mr. NUSSLE. Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, July 27, I missed the vote on 
final passage of the California Desert Protection Act--Roll Call Vote 
No. 357. I would like to take this opportunity to express my opposition 
to this measure. While I believe the California deserts are a national 
treasure, I believe H.R. 518 is fundamentally flawed because it grants 
the Federal Government complete control of millions of acres of land 
without regard for private property owners rights. Had my vote been 
recorded, it would have been recorded as ``nay.''
