                                 ______


                            HON. TIM JOHNSON

                            of south dakota

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, January 18, 1995
  Mr. JOHNSON of South Dakota. Mr. Speaker. I rise today to inform the 
House that I was inadvertently detained on Tuesday, January 17, 1995, 
from voting on final passage of S. 2, the Congressional Accountability 
Act, due to bad weather and flights which were postponed as I attempted 
to return to Washington from South Dakota. Had I not been detained 
yesterday, I would have voted in favor of final passage of the 
Congressional Accountability Act, just as I did on January 5, 1995 when 
the House passed H.R. 1 by a vote of 429-0.
