                         EXPLANATION OF ABSENCE

 Mr. BIDEN. Mr. President, I was unavoidably absent when the 
Senate voted on the California Desert Protection Act. I was speaking at 
the Gannet News Service headliner breakfast and although I left in time 
for the vote, I found myself in a traffic jam which delayed my return 
to the Senate. If I had been present, I would have voted in support of 
this important measure.
