                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I rise today to discuss my absence today 
during rollcall vote No. 274. The vote was in reference to Executive 
Calendar No. 907, the nomination of Andrew von Eschenbach of Texas to 
be Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration. I had to be 
necessarily absent from this vote so that I could attend and speak to 
an international conference in England sponsored by the Ditchley 
Foundation to discuss the steps required to eradicate worldwide 
terrorism.
