                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. MFUME. Mr. Speaker, due to activities related to the primary 
elections in my home State of Maryland, I was unavoidably detained 
earlier today in my district. I therefore missed rollcall votes No. 
420, on approving the previous day's journal; No. 421, on the motion to 
instruct conferees on H.R. 4606, the Labor-HHS-Education appropriations 
for fiscal year 1995; No. 422, to approve the motion to close the 
conference committee meeting on H.R. 4650, the Department of Defense 
appropriations for fiscal year 1995, to the public; and No. 423, to 
suspend the rules and pass H.R. 4308, the Wetlands Conservation Act 
Amendments.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on all occasions.
  Mr. FINGERHUT. Mr. Speaker, due to a malfunction of my pager, I was 
not aware of votes taking place and inadvertently was absent. If I had 
been here I would have cast my vote as follows:
  I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall No. 421, a motion to instruct 
conferees on appropriations for the Department of Interior.
  I would have voted yes on rollcall No. 422, a motion to close 
portions of the conference making appropriations for the Department of 
Defense.
  I would have voted yes on rollcall No. 423, a motion to suspend the 
rules and pass H.R. 4308 to authorize appropriations under the North 
American Wetlands Conservation Act.
