                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL P. FORBES

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 22, 1996

  Mr. FORBES. Mr. Speaker, on July 18, 1996, I was absent from the 
House of Representatives due to the tragic explosion on TWA Flight 800 
over the First Congressional District of New York. I felt it was 
appropriate to return to my district to support and comfort my 
constituents impacted by this disaster as well as to help coordinate 
local, State, and Federal search and rescue efforts.
  Had I been present I would have voted ``yes'' on roll No. 327, 
``yes'' on roll No. 328, ``no'' on roll No. 329, ``no'' on roll No. 
330, and ``yes'' on roll No. 331.
