                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. TORRICELLI. Mr. President, I inform the Senate that because of an 
unavoidable delay, I was unable to arrive in the Senate for a morning 
vote held on May 22, 2002. Had I been present, I would have voted as 
set forth below. My vote would not have affected the outcome.
  On the motion to invoke cloture on the Baucus Substitute Amendment 
3401 to H.R. 3009, the Andean Trade Act, I would have voted against 
cloture. The amendment on which the cloture vote occurred included 
Trade Promotion Authority, also known as Fast Track Authority, which I 
oppose because it fails to require strong, enforceable provisions 
regarding labor rights and environmental protection in future U.S. 
trade agreements.
