Not voting were: Dodd (D-CT) who was on the campaign trail, Johnson (D-SD) who is recovering from an illness, and Landrieu (D-LA) who was attending a funeral and showed up too late to vote, but expressed that she would have voted for the bill.

The vote was 63-34. If we add Dodd, Johnson, and Landrieu, we would have had 66 votes, or one short of overriding a veto. We have to crack one of the above senators.
