                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. LUIS V. GUTIERREZ

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 2, 1999

  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, October 18, 1999 I was 
unavoidably absent from this chamber and therefore missed rollcall vote 
508. I want the record to show that had I been present in this chamber 
I would have voted ``yea'' on vote 508.
  I also missed rollcall vote 512 on Tuesday, October 19, 1999. I want 
the record to show that if I had been able to be present in this 
chamber when this vote was cast, I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall 
vote 512.
