                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______


                         HON. CHARLES H. TAYLOR

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 23, 1996

  Mr. TAYLOR of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, on March 12, I was 
unavoidably detained in my district during rollcall Nos. 56-59.
  Roll No. 56 was on the rule accompanying the conference report to 
H.R. 1561, the Foreign Relations Authorization Act. Had I been present, 
I would have voted ``yea.''
  Roll No. 57 was on a motion to suspend the rules and pass House Joint 
Resolution 78, granting additional powers conferred upon the bi-state 
development agency by the States of Missouri and Illinois. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yea.''
  Roll No. 58 was on a motion to suspend the rules and agree to House 
Concurrent Resolution 149, a resolution condemning terrorist attacks in 
Israel. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.''
  Roll No. 59 was on passage of the conference report to H.R. 1561, the 
Foreign Relations Authorization Act. Had I been present, I would have 
voted ``yea.'' This would be consistent with my ``yea'' vote on the 
bill June 6, 1995--rollcall No. 366--when it first came before the 
House.
