                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. GEKAS. Mr. Speaker, earlier today, October 7, 1998, I was 
unavoidably detained while discussing the conference committee report 
on bankruptcy reform and missed a recorded vote on H.R. 4570, the 
Omnibus National Parks and Public Lands Act of 1998. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall No. 489, to agree to 
H.R. 4570.
