                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. RIGGS. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 300, on House Resolution 474 
providing for the consideration of H.R. 3396, the Defense of Marriage 
Act, was unavoidably detained on other business and unable to be 
physically present for the vote. Had I been present, I would have voted 
``yea.''
