                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. JOHNSON. Mr. President. I was unavoidably detained and absent 
from the Senate on the evening of Thursday, October 2, and I missed one 
voting during that time. I would like to state for the Record how I 
would have voted.
  I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall vote No. 376, a Stevens motion 
to table the Dodd-Corzine amendment which provided an additional $322 
million for battlefield clearance and safety equipment for U.S. forces 
in Iraq; and offsets by reducing the amount provided for reconstruction 
in Iraq by $322 million.
