                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, I regret that on March 9, 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 United States 
Senator may know my position.
  Regarding vote No. 68, on the motion to invoke cloture on the Cornyn 
amendment No. 312, as modified, I would have voted to invoke cloture on 
this amendment. My vote would not have altered the result of this 
motion.
  Regarding vote No. 69, on the motion to invoke cloture on the Reid 
amendment No. 275, as amended, I would not have voted to invoke cloture 
on this amendment. My vote would not have altered the result of this 
motion.
