                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mrs. McCASKILL. Madam President, today I attended the funeral of 
Connie Karr, my neighbor and city councilwoman in Kirkwood, MO, which 
is my home. Connie Karr died in a tragic attack on the Town Hall of 
Kirkwood. I was therefore unable to be present for two rollcall votes 
taken by the Senate. Had I been, I would have voted aye on the motion 
to invoke cloture on the conference report to accompany H.R. 2082, the 
Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year 2008. I would have 
further voted aye on final passage of H.R. 2082.
