                                 ______


                            HON. KEN CALVERT

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 19, 1996

  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, last Thursday, March 14, 1996, I 
inadvertently voted in favor of the Watt amendment which would have 
stricken the antiterrorism bill's--H.R. 2703--habeas corpus provisions. 
This was rollcall vote No. 64.
  I wish to express on the record that I had intended to vote in 
opposition to the Watt amendment. I strongly favor limiting the ability 
of State death-row and other prisoners to challenge in Federal court 
the constitutionality of their sentences.
