                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. PICKERING. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to return to Washington, DC, 
today due to a death in my family and missed the following vote:
  Rollcall vote No. 156, passage of the National Wildlife Refuge System 
Improvement Act (H.R. 1420). Had I been present, I would have voted 
``aye.''
