                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______


                             HON. DAN FRISA

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 22, 1996

  Mr. FRISA. Mr. Speaker, due to severe weather that backed up air 
traffic at LaGuardia Airport, I was unavoidably detained on the runway, 
and thus unable to vote on repeal of the 4.3-cent increase in 
transportation motor fuels excise tax.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on House Resolution 
436 (rollcall No. 180), ``nay'' on the motion to recommit H.R. 3415 
(rollcall No. 181), ``yea'' on final passage of H.R. 3415 (rollcall No. 
182). On House Concurrent Resolution 167 (rollcall No. 183), 
recognizing the 10th anniversary of the Chornobyl nuclear disaster, I 
would have voted ``yea.''
