                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker. I was not present for 
rollcall votes 506, 507, and 508, held earlier this afternoon on the 
Charitable Giving Act (H.R. 7). Had I been present, I would have voted 
``yes'' on the Cardin Substitute (No. 506). I would have voted ``yes'' 
on the Motion to Recommit (No. 507). I would have voted ``yes'' on 
Final Passage (No. 508).
