                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, last night, due to airline flight delays in 
South Dakota and Minneapolis, I missed the rollcall vote on H.R. 4986, 
the amended version of the Department of Defense authorization bill. 
Had I been present for this vote, I would have voted ``yes''--similar 
to my vote in December when the Senate initially passed H.R. 1585, the 
conference report to the Department of Defense authorization bill.
