                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______


                             HON. JACK REED

                            of rhode island

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 7, 1996

  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, it has come to my attention that on April 18, 
1996, the House voting system did not record my vote on rollcall vote 
125, final passage of the rule governing debate on the antiterrorism 
bill.
  At the time the vote was held, I was on the floor of the House, 
having just voted against ordering the previous question.
  It was my intent to vote for passage of the rule. Unfortunately, my 
vote was not properly recorded. I would ask the Record to reflect my 
presence in the Chamber and my intent to vote for passage of the rule.
