                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. NICK J. RAHALL II

                            of west virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, August 2, 1999

  Mr. RAHALL. Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, July 29, 1999, I inadvertently 
voted ``no'' on rollcall vote No. 352, the Moakley amendment to 
prohibit any funding for the U.S. Army School of the America's located 
at Fort Benning, GA. As a cosponsor of legislation calling for the 
closure of the School of the Americas, and having consistently voted to 
prohibit funding for the School of the Americas in the past, I fully 
intended to cast my vote in favor of the Moakley amendment, rollcall 
vote No. 352.
