                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. CASS BALLENGER

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, September 9, 1997

  Mr. BALLENGER. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to vote on rollcall vote No. 
367 on September 5, 1997. Had I been present, I would have voted in 
favor of Mr. McIntosh's amendment to transfer funds from the wage and 
hour enforcement provisions under H.R. 2264 to programs under the 
Individuals With Disabilities in Education Act.
  On the same day, I was unable to vote on rollcall No. 368. Had I been 
present, I would have voted in favor of Mr. Traficant's motion to 
instruct conferees on H.R. 1119, to insist upon the provisions of 
section 1032 of the House bill relating to the assignment of Department 
of Defense personnel to Border Patrol and control.
