                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. ISTOOK. Mr. Speaker, I was out of the Chamber at an intelligence 
briefing during the vote just held on the Interior appropriations bill 
conference report, rollcall No. 531. I would ask the Record to reflect 
that had I been present my vote would have been ``nay.''
