  EXPLANATION OF VOTE

  MADAM PRESIDENT:  I was present in the Senate Chamber on April 20, 2000,
  when the vote was taken on Senate File 2203 (Veto Override).  I was present,
  and I
  voted "Aye."  My vote Aye represented an inadvertent and accidental use of
  the green
  button (Aye), when in fact I had intended to exercise the red button (Nay)
  in the vote.
  The President of the Senate had closed the machine prior to my being able to
  change
  my vote.  Let it herein be noted that I opposed the veto override attempt on
  Senate File 2203.
