                           VOTE EXPLANATIONS

  Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, earlier this week, as a result of multiple 
flight cancellations due to the significant snowstorm in Washington, 
DC, I was unable to vote on Executive Calendar No. 468, the nomination 
of Joseph A. Greenaway, Jr. to be United States Circuit Judge for the 
Third Circuit and cloture on Executive Calendar No. 688, the nomination 
of Craig Becker to be a member of the National Labor Relations Board. 
Had I been present for these votes, I would have voted to confirm Mr. 
Greenaway to the Third Circuit, and would have voted against cloture on 
the nomination of Craig Becker because of my concerns that, based on 
his previous statements, he would inappropriately bring his far out of 
the mainstream personal beliefs and agenda to the NLRB.
