                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. FRANKS of Arizona. Mr. Speaker, I deeply and sincerely regret 
that I was not able to be present for Rolled Suspension on H. Res. 615, 
expressing the sense of the House of Representatives in support of full 
membership of Israel in the Western European and Others Group (WEOG) at 
the United Nations, and Rolled Suspension on H. Res. 713, deploring the 
misuse of the International Court of Justice by a majority of the 
United Nations General Assembly for a narrow political purpose. I 
hereby submit for the record my statement that had I been present for 
H. Res. 615 and H. Res. 713, I would have voted ``aye'' to both 
measures.

                          ____________________
