                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained this afternoon at a 
news conference reporting on my recent fact-finding trip to Ethiopia to 
observe the famine conditions and did not vote on rollcall Nos. 6 and 
7. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on the motion to 
recommit S. 23, and ``yea'' on final passage of S. 23, to extend 
unemployment insurance benefits.
