                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. COOKSEY. Mr. Speaker, due to my mother's illness, I was not here 
for the votes on H.R. 3615 or H.R. 3439. Had I been present, I would 
have voted ``yea'' on passage of H.R. 3615, ``nay'' on the Barrett of 
Wisconsin Amendment to H.R. 3439, and ``yea'' on passage of H.R. 3439.
