                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. GEKAS. Mr. Speaker, earlier today I missed rollcall votes No. 275 
and No. 276 on H.J. Res. 55, Disapproving Normal Trade Relations with 
Vietnam and H.R. 1954, The Iran Libya Sanctions Act. During the vote I 
was in a part of the Capitol building where the occurrence of floor 
votes was not indicated by the light/bell system. I request that the 
Record reflect that had I been on the floor, I would have cast a vote 
against H.J. Res. 55 and in favor of H.R. 1954, which I have 
cosponsored.
