                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______


                          HON. PHILIP M. CRANE

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 31, 1995
  Mr. CRANE. Mr. Speaker, after receiving assurances that we would not 
be voting on final passage of the Unfunded Mandate Reform Act tonight, 
I am keeping a commitment I made many months ago to travel back to 
Illinois to speak before the Barrington Chamber of Commerce. I regret 
that I may miss a number of votes relating to amendments to this 
legislation. However, regrettably, it has become clear from the 
proceedings of recent 
[[Page E237]] days that many of the amendments being offered by my 
colleagues on the other side of the aisle may be dilatory in nature, 
and are designed to simply slow down the process. In any event, my 
engagement in the district is important to my constituents, and I will 
make clear in the Record tomorrow how I would have cast my vote on any 
recorded votes I may have missed.
