                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. YATES. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 316 on H.R. 3396, the Defense 
of Marriage Act, which the House passed on July 12, 1996, I had 
intended to vote ``no'' and thought that I had voted ``no.'' I found 
out later that I am recorded as having voted ``aye.''
  Mr. Speaker, I would like the Record to show that I had intended to 
vote ``no'' on the bill.
