                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______


                           HON. FRED HEINEMAN

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 6, 1996

  Mr. HEINEMAN. Mr. Speaker, on June 5, 1996, due to an error, I was 
incorrectly recorded on the Radanovich amendment to H.R. 3540, the 
fiscal year 1997 Foreign Operations appropriations bill. The record 
reflects a ``no'' vote on rollcall vote No. 217. I request the record 
reflect I intended to vote ``yes'' and emphasize my strong condemnation 
regarding the atrocities that were committed against the Armenian 
people by the Ottoman Empire from 1915 to 1923. Turkey should 
acknowledge that these atrocities occurred and until they do, the 
United States should limit the amount of assistance that is given to 
them.
