                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. LAMPSON. Mr. Speaker, on November 17, 1999, on rollcall votes 596 
and 597, I am recorded as not voting. I am happy to announce that I was 
present at the birth of my first grandchild, Nicholas William Shanning. 
Had I been present for votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall 
596 and ``no'' on rollcall vote 597.
