                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, on vote No. 115, I was necessarily absent, 
due to a mechanical problem with the plane on my United flight 614 from 
Chicago. Had I been present for that vote, I would have voted against 
the motion to invoke cloture.
  Mr. OBAMA. Mr. President, on vote No. 115--the motion to invoke 
cloture on the motion to proceed to S. 22--I was necessarily absent due 
to a delay with my flight back from Chicago. Had I been present for 
that vote, I would have voted against the motion to invoke cloture.
