                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. FIELDS of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, last week I missed a series of 
votes because, on January 22, at 7:14 p.m., my wife gave birth to our 
first child, Cleo Brandon Fields, who weighed 7 lbs., 1 oz. and was 20 
inches long.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall votes 25 
through 28, 32 and 33, 35, 36, 40, 43 through 48, and 50 through 55. I 
would have voted ``no'' on rollcall votes 29, 30, 37, 38, 39, 41, 49, 
and 51.
