                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. ENGLISH of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained 
during the rollcall vote on H.R. 867, the Adoption Promotion Act of 
1997. If I had been present, it was my intention to vote ``aye'' 
because I strongly support the legislation.
  I ask that my statement appear in the Record after the vote.
