                         EXPLANATION OF ABSENCE

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, in reference to today's vote concerning 
the certification of Mexico, I was unavoidably absent due to delays in 
travel returning to Washington from a previously scheduled speech in 
Richmond, VA, to the Richmond Bar Association. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``aye'' during the recorded vote on the Coverdell/
Feinstein substitute amendment to House Joint Resolution 58, the Mexico 
drug certification.
