                         EXPLANATION OF ABSENCE

  Mr. BRYAN. Mr. President, I would like to inform the Senate that my 
distinguished colleague, Senator Reid, was called away suddenly due to 
the death of a lifetime friend of his family. He was unable to be 
present because of his attendance at funeral services in Nevada. Had he 
been present today, he would have voted for cloture on the matter 
presently before the Senate.
