                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Mr. President, earlier today, I was unable to vote on 
Executive Calendar No. 80, David Perdue to be Ambassador to the 
People's Republic of China, due to my attendance as ranking member at a 
Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee hearing on mental health care for 
veterans. I would have opposed Mr. Perdue's confirmation had I been 
present for the vote, rollcall vote No. 215.
