                             CHANGE OF VOTE

  Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, yesterday on vote No. 180, 
which was the State Department authorization bill, in that legislation 
was $819 million in U.N. back payments that the United States would pay 
to the U.N. In addition, there was $107 million the U.N. owed to the 
United States that was forgiven.
  I was unaware that those provisions were in the legislation, and I 
voted yea. Had I been aware of this, I would have voted nay.
  Therefore, I ask unanimous consent that I be permitted to change my 
vote. This will in no way change the outcome of the vote.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is 
so ordered.
  Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. I yield the floor.
  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to speak as in 
morning business.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  (The remarks of Mr. Grassley pertaining to the introduction of S. 
1271 are located in today's Record under ``Statements on Introduced 
Bills and Joint Resolutions.'')
