                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MAX SANDLIN

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 24, 1999

  Mr. SANDLIN. Mr. Speaker, I was very surprised to see my vote in the 
Congressional Record on H.R. 2490, Treasury Postal Appropriations. I am 
certain I intended to vote ``no'' and did, in fact, vote ``no,'' yet 
the Record reflects a vote of ``aye'' on my part. Therefore, I enter 
this statement into the Record to reflect the error that has been made 
with respect to this vote.
  Please note that I have filed resolutions of disapproval with regard 
to pay raises for Members, and I have consistently voted against 
legislation providing for such increases.
