                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. COOK. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 297, on H.R. 3874, The Child 
Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Amendments of 1998:
  My son's LDS missionary farewell in Salt Lake City was Sunday 
afternoon July 19 which precluded my return to Washington on Sunday. 
The first flight Monday, July 20 caused me to be just minutes late for 
the vote.
  Had I been present, I would have voted yes.
