                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. TALENT. Madam President, I was unavoidably detained and unable to 
participate in rollcall vote No. 164 that took place on September 7, 
2004. My flight was diverted from its intended destination of Reagan 
National Airport to Dulles International Airport and prevented me from 
being able to cast my vote. Had I been present I would have voted in 
favor of the nomination of Virginia Maria Hernandez Covington to be 
U.S. District Judge for the Middle District of Florida.
