                            VOTE EXPLANATION

 Mrs. CARNAHAN. Mr. President, early Sunday morning there were 
horrible tornadoes that killed a young child, injured many others and 
caused extensive damage throughout Marble Hill and other communities in 
southern Missouri. I believed it was important to visit the affected 
communities on Monday to comfort them and lend support. I regret that 
due to scheduling difficulties, I could not return to Washington in 
time for the vote on the motion to proceed to the Andean Trade 
Act.
