                          ABSENCE EXPLANATION

  Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, I regret that I was unable to 
participate in many of the important votes that took place on 
Wednesday, June 23, 2004. I was necessarily absent from the Senate 
yesterday as I was attending the funeral of a family member. 
Nevertheless, I believe it is important for my constituents in Kansas 
to know how I would have voted had I been here; thus, I indicated to 
the Majority Leader my position for each of the votes throughout the 
day.
