                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 14, 1998

  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, yesterday during Roll Call Vote 146, 
I voted aye believing that I was supporting Congresswoman Roukema's 
amendment #19 when in fact the vote was on Congressman Leach's 
amendment that I opposed. Please let the record reflect that I intended 
to vote no on Congressman Leach's amendment (Roll Call Vote 146), and 
aye on Congresswoman Roukema's amendment #19 (Roll Call Vote 147).
