                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. MINGE. Mr. Speaker, due to illness, I was unable to be in the 
House Chamber for today's debate on H.R. 2559. Had I been here I would 
have spoken and voted in support of H.R. 2559. On rollcall vote 229, I 
would have voted ``nay.'' On rollcall votes 230, 231, 232, and 233, I 
would have voted ``yea.''
