                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. CASEY. Mr. President, last week, I travelled overseas as part of 
a congressional delegation conducting meetings on Russian aggression, 
security, and food security, among other things. Our delegation was 
scheduled to return on Monday, April 25, but due to mechanical problems 
with our aircraft, we were delayed for a day.
  As a result of that delay, I missed two votes. I take seriously my 
duties in service to the people of Pennsylvania, including voting on 
policies and nominations. Accordingly, I wish for the record to show 
that, had I not been absent due to mechanical difficulties with the 
plane, I would have voted yea on the following votes: yea on vote No. 
135, on the motion to invoke cloture: Lael Brainerd to be Vice-Chairman 
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; yea on vote 
No. 136, on confirmation: Lael Brainerd, to be Vice-Chairman of the 
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
