On the recordMarch 13, 2012
The following Senators are necessarily absent: the Senator from Utah (Mr. Hatch) and the Senator from Illinois (Mr. Kirk). Further, if present and voting, the Senator from Utah (Mr. Hatch) would have voted ``yea.'' The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Casey). Are there any other Senators in the Chamber desiring to vote? The yeas and nays resulted--yeas 40, nays 58, as follows: [Rollcall Vote No. 44 Leg.] YEAS--40 Alexander Ayotte Barrasso Blunt Boozman Burr Chambliss Coats Coburn Corker Cornyn Crapo DeMint Enzi Graham Grassley Hoeven Hutchison Inhofe Isakson Johanns Johnson (WI) Kyl Lee Lugar McCain McConnell Moran Murkowski Paul Portman Risch Roberts Rubio Sessions Shelby Thune Toomey Vitter Wicker NAYS--58 Akaka Baucus Begich Bennet Bingaman Blumenthal Boxer Brown (MA) Brown (OH) Cantwell Cardin Carper Casey Cochran Collins Conrad Coons Durbin Feinstein Franken Gillibrand Hagan Harkin Heller Inouye Johnson (SD) Kerry Klobuchar Kohl Landrieu Lautenberg Leahy Levin Lieberman Manchin McCaskill Menendez Merkley Mikulski Murray Nelson (NE) Nelson (FL) Pryor Reed Reid Rockefeller Sanders Schumer Shaheen Snowe Stabenow Tester Udall (CO) Udall (NM) Warner Webb Whitehouse Wyden NOT VOTING--2 Hatch Kirk The PRESIDING OFFICER.
