                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, due to the threat of Hurricane Floyd 
to South Florida I found it necessary to stay in my district to attend 
to the needs of my constituents. However, I wish to be recorded as a 
``yes'' vote on the motion to close the conference on H.R. 2561, the 
Fiscal Year 2000 Defense Appropriations bill due to national security 
reasons. I also wish to be recorded as a ``yes'' vote on H. Con. Res. 
184 and H.R. 658.
