  (At the request of Mr. Reid, the following statement was ordered to 
be printed in the Record.)

                            VOTE EXPLANATION

 Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, I was necessarily absent for the 
votes on the nomination of Paul Holmes to be United States District 
Judge for the Western District of Arkansas and Diana Saldana to be 
United States District Judge for the Southern District of Texas. If I 
were able to attend today's session, I would have supported both 
nominees.
