                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______


                         HON. LUIS V. GUTIERREZ

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 17, 1996

  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, at the end of the afternoon of Tuesday, 
April 16, 1996, I was unavoidably absent from this Chamber and 
therefore missed rollcall vote No. 120--deploring individuals who deny 
the historical reality of the Holocaust and commending the vital, 
ongoing work of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and rollcall vote 
No. 119--to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide for 
increased taxpayer protections. I want the Record to show that if I had 
the opportunity to be in this Chamber when these votes were cast, I 
would have voted ``yea'' for both rollcall vote No. 120 and rollcall 
vote No. 119.
