                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 295, I strongly supported 
the resolution praising El Salvador, but inadvertantly missed the vote. 
There is no country in Central America more representative of democracy 
and an inspiration to others than El Salvador. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``yes.''
