                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I was not recorded on rollcalls 
734 and 745. Had I been recorded, I would have voted ``yes'' in both 
cases.
  Mr. Speaker, due to a malfunction of the voting system, I was not 
recorded October 24, 1995, on rollcall vote 734. This was the third in 
a series of votes that evening, and although I was recorded on the 
first two votes, my vote was not recorded on the third vote. Had I been 
properly recorded, my vote was ``yes'' in support of S. 1322, 
legislation providing for the relocation of the United States Embassy 
in Israel to Jerusalem.
  As one who has signed letters to the President and Secretary of State 
in support of the relocation of the Embassy, I would request unanimous 
consent that my statement appear in the permanent Record immediately 
following the vote on S. 1322.
  Mr. Speaker, I was inadvertently delayed Monday evening, October 30, 
1995, during the consideration of House Resolution 247, expressing the 
concern of the House about the possible deployment of American troops 
in Bosnia. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall 
No. 745 in support of this resolution.
