                         EXPLANATION OF ABSENCE

  Mr. WELLSTONE. Mr. President, I was necessarily absent today for 
rollcall vote No. 228, on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to 
proceed to S. 2507, the intelligence authorization bill. I was in 
Minnesota visiting with my constituents in Granite Falls who were 
victims of a tornado which struck the city last night and caused severe 
damage and some loss of life. Had I been present, I would have voted 
aye on the motion.
