                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 20, 1995

  Mr. BALLENGER. Mr. Speaker, on December 13, 1995, I was unavoidably 
detained and missed rollcall vote No. 851, the adoption of House 
Resolution 297, a rule to permit the House to adopt, by a simple 
majority, rules for certain legislation on the same day that they are 
reported by the Rules Committee. Had I been present for vote No. 851, I 
would have voted ``aye.''
