                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BOB ETHERIDGE

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 28, 1997

  Mr. ETHERIDGE. Mr. Speaker, on two recent occasions, I was 
unavoidably detained on official business in my congressional district 
while the House was in session. Had I been present, I would have voted 
``yes'' on rollcall votes 72 and 73 and ``no'' on rollcall vote 85. I 
ask that this statement appear at the appropriate place in the 
permanent Record.
