                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall vote No. 38 I was 
unavoidably detained at the White House because of an important 
announcement for Houston. Houstonian Colonel Eileen Collins was named 
the first woman commander of the Space Shuttle. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``yes.''
