                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. BISHOP of New York. Mr. Speaker, due to previously scheduled 
official commitments in my district, I was unavoidably detained and not 
present in the House Chamber on Thursday, July 21 to vote on rollcalls 
612, 613 and 614.
  I would have voted ``no'' on each rollcall had I been present.
