                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I regret that I missed this evening's 
vote in the Senate on the confirmation of Earl Leroy Yeakel III, to be 
U.S. District Judge for the Western District of Texas. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yea'' on his confirmation. Unfortunately, 
the airplane I was to travel on back to Washington, DC was grounded for 
some time due to mechanical problems, and this caused a delay in my 
return.
