                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. VITO FOSSELLA

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 20, 1999

  Mr. FOSSELLA. Mr. Speaker, I am not recorded on rollcall No. 265 for 
the Y2K Readiness and Responsibility Act; 191 for the motion to go to 
conference on the fiscal year 2000 National Defense Authorization Act; 
and rollcall No. 276 for the Financial Services Act. I was visiting the 
U.S. troops in Macedonia and could not vote for this legislation. Had I 
been present, I would have voted ``yes'' for both bills and the motion 
to go to conference.
