  (At the request of Mr. Daschle, the following statement was ordered 
to be printed in the Record.)
                                 ______
                                 

                            VOTE EXPLANATION

 Mr. HARKIN. Mr. President, I was necessarily absent during the 
confirmation vote on Samuel Der-Yeghiayan to become a Federal district 
judge for Illinois. Had I been in attendance, I would have voted 
``yea.''
