                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. VITO FOSSELLA

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 18, 1999

  Mr. FOSSELLA. Mr. Speaker, I am not recorded on rollcall numbers 587, 
588, 589, 590, 591, 592, 593, 594, and 595. I was unavoidably detained 
and therefore could not vote for this legislation. Had I been present, 
I would have voted ``aye'' for rollcall numbers 587, 588, 589, 590, 
591, 592, 593 and 594. I would have voted ``no'' for rollcall number 
595.
