                         EXPLANATION OF ABSENCE

  Mr. BAYH. Mr. President, I was not present for the rollcall vote No. 
87 on the motion to invoke cloture on S. 1637 today because of my 
participation in the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on the 
mistreatment of Iraqi detainees. However, I wish to state for the 
record that I would have voted in favor of the motion to invoke cloture 
had I been present.
