                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. LIEBERMAN. Mr. President, I regret having missed the February 8 
vote to consider an amendment to the FAA Air Transportation 
Modernization and Safety Improvement Act. I was celebrating the joyous 
occasion of my newest grandson's birth with my wife and children.
  Had I been present, I would have voted in favor of Senator Nelson's 
amendment to strike section 605. Section 605 would have established an 
advisory committee on aeronautics, but such a committee is not 
necessary because NASA already plays that role.
