                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. BAYH. Mr. President, I regret that I missed last evening's vote 
on the nomination of Maurice Hicks to be a District Judge for the 
Western District of Louisiana. My flight from Indianapolis to 
Washington was cancelled due to mechanical problems with the plane. I 
would like the record to reflect that had I been present, I would have 
voted ``yea'' to confirm Maurice Hicks.
