                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. FORD. Mr. Speaker, today I was unavoidably detained and missed 
the following rollcall votes:
  Rollcall No. 417--H.R. 678, Thomas Alva Edison Sesquicentennial 
Commemorative Coin Act;
  Rollcall No. 418--H.R. 1560, Lewis and Clark Expedition Bicentennial 
Commemorative Coin Act; and
  Rollcall No. 419--H. Res. 459, Commemorating 50 Years of Relations 
between the United States and the Republic of Korea.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on Rollcall Nos. 417, 
418, and 419.
