                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. KENNEDY of Rhode Island. Mr. Speaker, on May 25, 2000, I was 
accompanying President Clinton to a funeral in the First District of 
Rhode Island and consequently I missed five votes.
  Had I been here I would have voted: ``No'' on Ordering the Previous 
Question, H. Res. 511; ``yes'' on Agreeing to the Resolution, H. Res. 
511; ``yes'' on Agreeing to the Resolution, H. Res. 331; ``yes'' on 
Motion to Recommit, H.R. 3916; and ``yes'' on Final Passage, H.R. 3916.
