                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. MASCARA. Mr. Speaker, at the time of rollcall vote No. 368, 
passage of the rule on consideration of H.R. 1530, the 1996 national 
defense authorization bill, I was unavoidably detained while testifying 
before the Base Realignment and Closure Commission in the Senate Hart 
Building. I was testifying in strong support of the 911th Air Reserve 
Station at Pittsburgh International Airport and the Charles E. Kelley 
Support Facility in Oakdale, both facilities which are in my district. 
Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall No. 368.
