                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday of this week I was unable to be 
present in the House for rollcall votes 430 through 438.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcalls 430, 431, 
432, 434, 435, 436, 437, and 438 and ``no'' on rollcall vote 433.
