                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Madam Speaker, on yesterday, Monday, 
September 8, 1997, I was detained in the district for official 
business. Because of the official business that I was handling in the 
18th Congressional District, I missed two rollcall votes. The first was 
rollcall vote No. 369. Madam Speaker, if I had been present on the 
floor, I would have voted ``no.''
  The second rollcall vote was No. 370 of which I was paired. However, 
I would like my vote to be noted as ``no'' if I had been present.
