                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. WATKINS. Mr. Speaker, I was delayed on the first two votes this 
evening because of plane delay due to inclement weather in Cincinnati.
  If I had been here on the Coburn amendment prohibiting the 
development or approval of any drug intended solely for the chemical 
inducement of abortion, I would have voted ``yes.''
  On the Royce amendment, to reduce the total fiscal year 2001 
agriculture appropriations by 1 percent, I would have voted ``no.''
