                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mrs. COLLINS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, this afternoon, March 6, 1996, 
I was unavoidably absent for rollcall vote 47, on final passage of H.R. 
927, the Cuban Liberty Act conference report, because I had to go to my 
ophthalmologist for an emergency procedure.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``no.''
