                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______


                          HON. JOSE E. SERRANO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 30, 1995

  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, it has been brought to my attention that I 
am not recorded as having voted on rollcall No. 762, a motion to 
instruct House conferees on the conference report on H.R. 2099, the VA-
HUD-independent agencies appropriations bill for fiscal year 1996.
  Moments before, I voted to order the previous question. I should have 
been recorded as voting ``yes'' on the motion to instruct, because I am 
opposed to the 17 riders restricting EPA's regulatory power and ability 
to enforce numerous air and water pollution regulations.

                          ____________________
