                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BOB ETHERIDGE

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 11, 1998

  Mr. ETHERIDGE. Mr. Speaker, during yesterday's proceedings, I was 
inadvertently absent from the Chamber during two votes. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``No'' on both Rollcall votes 423 and 424. 
I ask that this statement be included in the appropriate place in the 
Record.
