                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. MFUME. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained earlier this 
evening by preparations for the State dinner to honor President Nelson 
Mandela of the Republic of South Africa.
  Specifically, I missed the votes on suspending the rules and passing 
H.R. 5108, the Export Administration Act Temporary Extension; House 
Congressional Resolution 279, condemning the sinking of a tugboat by 
Cuba; and House Congressional Resolution 286, commending President 
Cristiani's peace efforts.
  Had I been here I would have voted ``aye'' on all three.
