                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______


                        HON. JOHN N. HOSTETTLER

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 30, 1996

  Mr. HOSTETTLER. Mr. Speaker, due to severe thunderstorms, I was 
unavoidably detained and missed one recorded vote on May 21, 1996. Had 
I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on roll No. 180, on ordering 
the previous question on H. Res. 436, a resolution providing the rule 
for consideration of H.R. 3415, a bill to repeal the 4.3 cent increase 
in transportation motor fuels excise tax. I request that this appear in 
the appropriate place in the Congressional Record.
