                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______


                           HON. STEVE LARGENT

                              of oklahoma

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, February 3, 1995
  Mr. LARGENT. Mr. Speaker, as part of my induction into the NFL Hall 
of Fame, the National Football League requires that I be available for 
all promotional events. On Sunday, February 5, 1995, I must attend a 
half-time promotional event at the Pro-Bowl in Honolulu, HI. Due to 
travel constraints, I was forced to leave Washington on the morning of 
Friday, February 3, 1995, to attend related events on Saturday and 
Sunday.
  If I had been present for the following votes on Friday, February 3, 
1995, I would have voted as follows:
  Spratt amendment--``No''; adding tax incentives to the list of 
provisions the President may rescind.
  Wise substitute amendment--``No''; requiring approval, rather than 
disapproval, from both Houses of Congress before any rescission takes 
effect, effectively turning the bill into an expedited rescissions 
proposal.
