                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. HOOLEY of Oregon. Mr. Speaker, a dear friend of some thirty years 
underwent brain surgery in Oregon this week. Because I desired to be in 
Oregon to support friends and family, I was unable to vote on several 
items today, September 30.

  Had I been present, I would have voted: ``yea'' on rollcall No. 460; 
``yea'' on rollcall No. 461; ``yea'' on rollcall No. 462; ``no'' on 
rollcall No. 463; ``yea'' on rollcall No. 464; and ``no'' on rollcall 
No. 465.
