                         VOTE ON AMENDMENT 384

  Mr. LIEBERMAN. Mr. President, I wanted to indicate to the Senate why 
I was unavoidably absent, as was recorded in yesterday's Record, at the 
time of the vote on amendment 384 to S. 1059. I was in Connecticut 
yesterday. Because of serious thunderstorm and wind conditions my 
flight from Connecticut to Washington was delayed for several hours, 
causing me to miss the vote on the amendment.
  As yesterday's Record indicates, had I been able to return to vote, I 
would have voted for the amendment, which passed 90 to 0.
