                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, due to a prior commitment, I regret I was 
not present to vote on six amendments to H.R. 3762, the Budget 
Reconciliation Act. Had I been present, I would have voted yes on 
amendment No. 2908, Manchin-Toomey expanded background checks, and 
amendment No. 2910, denying firearms to suspected terrorists. I

strongly support these commonsense gun safety proposals.
  In addition, I would have supported amendment No. 2892, Senator 
Shaheen's funding for mental illness and substance abuse services, and 
amendment No. 2907, Senator Bennet's proposal to improving access to 
care at the Veterans Administration. However, I would have voted no on 
amendment No. 2912, Cornyn side-by-side to No. 2910; amendment No. 
2914, Grassley side-by-side to No. 2908; and amendment No. 2899, Paul 
refugee resettlement.
