                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, I regret that on February 28, I was 
unable to vote on certain provisions of S.4, the Improving America's 
Security Act of 2007. I wish to address these votes so that the people 
of the great State of Kansas, who elected me to serve them as U.S. 
Senator, may know my position.
  Regarding vote No. 54, on the Inouye amendment No. 285, I would not 
have voted in favor of this amendment. My vote would not have altered 
the result of the final vote.
  Regarding vote No. 55, on the DeMint amendment No. 279 as modified, I 
would have voted in favor of this amendment. My vote would not have 
altered the result of the final vote.
