                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. EHLERS. Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, I was detained the last 2 
days by a violent abdominal illness and was not able to attend the 
session yesterday.
  Had I been present, I would have voted in the affirmative on H.R. 68 
and H.R. 432, rollcalls 7 and 8.
