                            VOTE EXPLANATION

 Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, I was necessarily absent for the 
cloture vote on the motion to proceed to legislation to provide 
civilian payroll tax relief, to reduce the Federal budget deficit, and 
for other purposes, S. 1931. If I were able to attend today's session, 
I would have opposed cloture on this bill.
