                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. JONES. Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, October 1, 1997, I missed 
rollcall votes 484 to 489. I was presenting testimony on behalf of my 
legislation, H.R. 765, to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural 
Resources Subcommittee on National Parks, Historic Preservation, and 
Recreation. If I had been present, I would have voted ``yes'' on roll 
call 484, 485, 487, 488 and 489. I would have voted ``no'' on roll call 
486.
