                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. HINCHEY. Mr. Speaker, I regret that I was unavoidably detained in 
traffic today while returning to the Capitol from my congressional 
district. This forced me to miss rollcall Nos. 465 and 466. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``no'' on the Sober Borders Act and ``yes'' 
on the Health Care Safety Net Amendments Act.
