                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 578, I was 
unavoidably detained because of a celebration honoring the Little Rock 
Nine sponsored by the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Thompson). If I 
had been here, I would have voted ``aye'' for the substitute Dingell 
amendment.
