                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 533, the rule 
on H. Res. 340 appears to contain amendments which could be adverse to 
economic interests in the State of Illinois, subject to further study. 
The rule is traditionally a procedural, partisan matter. Accordingly, 
despite my presence on the floor in the center aisle, I chose to 
abstain. Had I voted, I would have voted, ``present.''
