                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DAVID D. PHELPS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 5, 1999

  Mr. PHELPS. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 342, I was very surprised to 
discover that my vote for final passage of H.R. 2605, the Energy and 
Water Appropriations Act, was not recorded. I was definitely present 
for all the preceding votes on amendments and for final passage.
  Although I do not understand why my vote on final passage was not 
recorded, I know I was present on July 27 and intended to vote for 
passage of H.R. 2605, The Energy and Water Appropriations Act, on 
Tuesday, July 27. Please let it be noted that I support The Energy and 
Water Appropriations Act, as amended. I would have voted in favor of 
passage.
