                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 254, I was unavoidably 
detained on the telephone regarding tomorrow's markup of my 
subcommittee appropriation bill for Labor, Health and Human Services, 
and Education. I regret greatly missing this vote. Had I been present, 
I would have voted ``yes.''
