                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TIM JOHNSON

                            of south dakota

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 26, 1996

  Mr. JOHNSON of South Dakota. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to inform the 
House how I would have voted on three votes held on June 20, 1996. On 
that day I was in meetings and the beeper provided by the House 
malfunctioned and did not properly alert me to the fact votes were 
being taken by the full House. Had I been present on rollcall vote No. 
259, on the amendment offered by Mr. Parker I would have voted ``yes''; 
on rollcall vote No. 260, on the amendment offered by Mr. Sanders I 
would have voted ``yes''; and on rollcall No. 261, on the amendment 
offered by Mr. Shadegg I would have voted ``no''.
