                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. SIMMONS. Mr. Speaker, I was regrettably delayed in a meeting at 
the Pentagon, and was unable to be on the House Floor for rollcall 
votes 515 and 516.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall 515, the 
rule providing for consideration of the bill H.R. 3893 and ``yea'' on 
rollcall 516, approving the Journal.

                          ____________________
