                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. LIEBERMAN. Mr. President, I regret I was not able to vote on S. 
Res. 272. My airline flight back to Washington, DC was delayed for many 
hours because of adverse weather conditions. I express my support for 
this measure and applaud its passage. A national referendum to support 
a more democratic process based upon 10,000 signatures to the Cuban 
National Assembly is laudable. I ask that the record show that I would 
have voted in favor of S. Res. 272 and I support its passage. My vote 
did not affect the outcome because the resolution passed 
overwhelmingly.
