                            VOTE EXPLANATION

 Mr. NELSON of Florida. Mr. President, I would like to take 
this opportunity to explain to the Senate my absence during today's 
vote to invoke cloture on S. 372, the Intelligence Authorization Act.
  I am in Florida, and my flight was due to arrive in Washington this 
afternoon. However, because of the inclement weather, my flight was 
delayed and I am still in Tallahassee.
  I am a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and I 
have already voted in favor of this measure. As such, had I been 
present for the vote, I would have voted ``aye'' on the 
resolution.
