                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TODD TIAHRT

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 31, 2000

  Mr. TIAHRT. Mr. Speaker, on January 31, I was unavoidably detained 
and missed roll call vote numbers 2 and 3. Had I been present, I would 
have voted ``yes'' on H. Con. Res. 244, Permitting the Use of the 
Capitol Rotunda to Commemorate Victims of the Holocaust; and ``yes'' on 
H.R. 2130, the Hillory J. Farias Date-Rape Prevention Drug Act of 1999. 
I would request that my statement be placed in the appropriate location 
in the Congressional Record.
