                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  (At the request of Mr. Reid, the following statement was ordered to 
be printed in the Record.)
 Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, I would like the Record to reflect 
that I was necessarily absent for the vote on the conference report to 
H.R. 4520. While I believe that there were some missed opportunities on 
this legislation, overall I support the bill. I voted for the original 
bill when it passed the Senate and to invoke cloture on the conference 
report. Had I been present, I would have voted in support of the 
conference report.
