                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, earlier today I attended a ceremony in 
Pennsylvania for the National Governor's Association. Maryland Governor 
Parris Glendening today became the Chairman of the National Governor's 
Association and because of my attendance, I was unable to vote on H. 
Con. Res. 253, H.R. 4442, and H. Res. 415. Had I been present, I would 
have voted ``yes'' on rollcall 379, 380, and 381.
