                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______


                          HON. XAVIER BECERRA

                             of california

                        Thursday, March 16, 1995
  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
explain my absence from the House on Monday, March 5, and Tuesday, 
March 14, 1995.
  As I have stated previously, my wife and I are faced with a trying 
family medical situation which has required my presence at home in Los 
Angeles as often as possible and, unfortunately, at times when the 
House is in session. We are expecting our second child this May, and 
under doctor's orders, my wife has been limited to bed rest until she 
has completed her pregnancy.
  Regretfully, I missed a number of recorded floor votes on March 5 and 
14. For the record, I would like to indicate my position on each vote:
  [[Page E623]] Goodlatte amendment to H.R. 988, the Attorney 
Accountability Act (rollcall 200)--``No.''
