                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. WATKINS. Mr. Speaker, due to an airplane mechanical problem, I 
was delayed in my arrival back to Washington yesterday afternoon from 
my district and I was unable to record my votes on rollcall votes 211, 
212 and 213. Had I been present on those votes I would have voted aye 
on those three votes.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Oklahoma?
  There was no objection.
