                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. ETHERIDGE. Mr. Speaker, earlier today I joined local community 
leaders from my district on behalf of Fort Bragg, Pope Air Force Base, 
going to the BRAC hearing in Charlotte and thereby missed a number of 
rollcall votes.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall votes 322, 
323, and 324, and would have voted ``no'' on rollcall votes 325, 326, 
327, and 328.
