                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. DOMENICI. Madam President, today, Thursday, January 22, I am 
necessarily absent because I am needed in New Mexico. Today, President 
George W. Bush is visiting Roswell, NM to address the pressing issue of 
terrorism. Not only do I have the pleasure of welcoming the President 
to my home State, but I also have the distinct honor of introducing him 
at his speech in Roswell.
  Roswell is home to the International Law Enforcement Academy and a 
short drive away is the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in 
Artesia. These two outstanding facilities are playing critical roles in 
the ``War on Terrorism.''
  Were I present today, I would vote ``yea'' on the Omnibus 
Appropriations bill, H.R. 2673.
